Do you think that the owner of the house that the plane crashed into will get compensation from a) China, b) NK or c) no compensation?

Somebody at the Shinuiju Air Base (Uiju Korea Peoples Army Air Force) HERE will have to take responsiblity and be executed or sent to the camps. Further up the chain of command, they could also sack a General or two, particularly over border security and (failure of) shooting down any skeedaddling DPRK jets trying to make it out with defecting pilots to China or Russia. It will be interest to get humint on any shake ups in that region of the Party and Military over this DPRK screw up.
