North Korea released a video showing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un watching a missile eject from underwater, going up vertically into the air, just three days after the country stated that it conducted a hydrogen bomb test.

The video is not dated, but the reporter says the launch was conducted in December.

North Korea said it successfully tested a miniaturised hydrogen nuclear device on Jan. 6, claiming a significant advance in the isolated state's strike capability and setting off alarm bells in Japan and South Korea.

The test, the fourth time North Korea has exploded a nuclear device, was ordered by young leader Kim Jong Un, state media said.
