North Korea 'deliberately detonated missile during failed weekend test because it was heading for RUSSIA'

North Korea deliberately detonated a missile during its failed weekend test because the rocket was heading for Russia, it has been claimed.

Pyongyang test-fired a ballistic weapon on Saturday despite warnings from the US that failure to curb its nuclear and rocket trials could lead to 'catastrophic consequences'.

The missile travelled 30 miles before crashing down on an inland part of North Korea.

But it has since been claimed that Kim Jong-un's spooked officials deliberately exploded the KN-17 device shortly after launch fearing it had been fired towards Russia by accident.

#5  The first order of action against North Korea is to immediately destroy and occupy all ICBM launch sites. Stealth fighters followed by stealth helicopters bringing in Seals is the first order of battle.
