To hide evidence of radioactive payload?

More likely to hide evidence of which country they're obtaining their rocket technology from.

I think (if memory serves) the norks have a couple satellites “tumbling” up there and no one has any idea what the damn things are supposed to be doing.

Very small weapon for a very small area that only disrupts but does not destroy.

Even a lightning strike disrupts electronics.

"To hide evidence of radioactive payload?"

That wouldn't hide anything. The blown up pieces would still be radioactive in such a wild-eyed scenario.

No, NK blew up the 1st stage so that:
#1: SK couldn't brag about recovering NK's 1st stage again, and
#2: to hide the foreign-made components used in their 1st stage

Agree.

Would love to know what countries have provided the electronics for the little tyrant’s projects.
