A laughing matter it is not but it is difficult not to take to satire when NK official history includes passages on how the Greatest of Kims hit bulls eye with a heavy machine gun at the age of 7, before he invented the world's first hamburger while personally moving the moon across the skies. It is understandable that claims of having very long range ICBMs are met with suspicion of exaggerations.
At the same time, it is nothing new that "leaked" info on happenings in NK has occationally been fabricated in the south. Something to bear in mind.
