North Korea Faked Test Video, Group Says
By CHOE SANG-HUN
NEW YORK TIMES

SEOUL, South Korea — The video footage North Korea has broadcast of what looked like a successful submarine-launched ballistic missile was most likely faked to exaggerate the country’s advances in missile development, according to an analysis posted Tuesday by a research institute based in the United States.

Two days after conducting its fourth nuclear test, North Korea released television footage on Friday that showed its leader, Kim Jong-un, watching a missile rising from the sea and soaring through clouds. The North indicated that the test took place in December, supporting earlier news media and analysts’ reports that it had launched a submarine-launched ballistic missile on Dec. 21.

But officials at the South Korean Defense Ministry immediately questioned the North Korean claim, saying that they saw signs that the footage had been doctored.

I guess that you didn't bother to view the clip

Seriously, you think that the missile really turned into a star
