NK is such an insanely closed society that it's almost impossible to get assets on the inside to do that kind of work. Possible that there was a Stuxnet-style hack, but even then I think the most plausible explanation is that the rocket just failed, as many early rocket tests in the 50s-60s did.
I think people overestimate the kind of James Bond **** we can pull with NK. Like, John Kasich recently suggested
"taking out" Kim with some kind of Seal Team 6-style raid (which is kind of an astonishing thing for a politician to say). I have no idea how you pull that off without eyes on the ground.
