You can get worried about it if you want to, but these shennanigans are par for the course when it comes to the DPRK. They've been doing it for decades. North Korea is primarily doing two things.
1.) The grandson (whom i shall call "Little Kim") is establishing his rule as a (Whatever) Leader to the people and military brass. He just took over, his rule isn't cemented, so he has to show off and prove his worth. Same BS in 94/95 when the "Son of Kim" took the reigns.
2. ) Playing the brinksmanship game (again) to get something. It's always the same, they bang the war drums until we start offering stuff so the DPRK stops banging the war drums. Give them 10 years (give or take), and they'll do it again. And again, and again, ad nausem.
EDIT:
I really wish I disobeyed directives and took more pictures while i was in the ROK. The whole peninsula is geared for war. Some of the built in prepairations would blow some of your minds. Expressways that double as emergency runways, clear cuts maintained along northern perimeter fences to allow for an unobstructed fields of fire. Even drop down segments in perimeter fences, featuring (what im assuming was) vulcan mini guns you'd expect to see mounted in aircraft - all facing north, and i was seeing these preparations as far south as Taegu and Kwang Ju.
