Difficult to detect or destroy: North Korea and its weapons of mass destruction

North Korea's state media on Thursday (October 3) released still photographs of a missile launch and said it had successfully test-fired a new type of submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) from the sea off its east coast on Wednesday (October 2), aimed at containing external threats and bolstering its self-defence.

North Korea fired a submarine-launched ballistic missile off its east coast, South Korea&#39;s military said today, the latest in a string of missile launches by the isolated country in defiance of UN Security Council resolutions. 
 
North Korea test-fired the missile at around 5.30 a.m. (0830 GMT) near the coastal city of Sinpo, where satellite imagery shows a submarine base to be located, an official at South Korea&#39;s joint chiefs of staff said. 
 
The launch comes two days after rival South Korea and the United States began annual military exercises in the South that North Korea condemns as a preparation for an&nbsp;invasion, and has threatened retaliation. 
 
North Korea has become further isolated after a January nuclear test, its fourth, and the launch of a long-range rocket in February brought tightened UN sanctions. 
 
It has launched numerous missiles of various types this year, including one this month that landed in or near Japanese-controlled waters. 
 
Tensions on the Korean peninsula were exacerbated by the recent defection of North Korea&#39;s deputy ambassador in London to South Korea, an embarrassing setback to the regime of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
