"TAEPODONG-2: Three-stage rocket with potential range of more than 4,100 miles (6,700 kilometers), putting Alaska within striking distance. First two stages are liquid-fueled, while the third is believed to be solid-fueled. "

Both of the Tonchang-ri launch pads are on a peninsula, and are within easy reach of the ocean:

It would seem possible to infiltrate a SEAL sniper team to within range of both launch pads. One .50 cal HEI round from a Barrett into one of the first two stages -- fired immediately after launch ignition -- should be masked by rocket engine noise. That should produce a satisfyingly dramatic "catastrophic failure on launch"... ;-)

I like the way you think....

Thank you TXnMA for the ping.
