Well, Kim Jong-un got to shoot off another missile this weekend, and since it didn’t just blow up instantly, that meant it was time to brag about it.

North Korea said Monday the missile it launched over the weekend was a new type of “medium long-range” ballistic rocket that can carry a heavy nuclear warhead. A jubilant leader Kim Jong Un promised more nuclear and missile tests and warned that North Korean weapons could strike the U.S. mainland and Pacific holdings.

North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency called the missile a “new ground-to-ground medium long-range strategic ballistic rocket,” and said the “Hwasong-12″ was “capable of carrying a large, heavy nuclear warhead.” Kim Jong Un witnessed the test and “hugged officials in the field of rocket research, saying that they worked hard to achieve a great thing,” according to KCNA.

The rocket, “newly designed in a Korean-style,” flew 787 kilometers (490 miles) and reached a maximum altitude of 2,111.5 kilometers (1,310 miles), the North said, and “verified the homing feature of the warhead under the worst re-entry situation and accurate performance of detonation system.”

While every North Korean claim needs to be taken with a grain of salt, it’s clear that Kim Jong-un does not give a care who tells him what to do or not do. He is going to shoot off missiles for funsies, because said dictator wants to look big and bad. The problem is that this is bad, and no one is willing just yet to tell Kim to knock it off.
