Accompanied by military top brass, Kim personally gave the green light for the testing of the huge new intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that is capable of hitting global targets.

The slick state media video shows Kim checking his fancy watch before taking off his sunglasses in dramatic fashion to approve the launch.

"The missile, launched at Pyongyang International Airport, travelled up to a maximum altitude of 6,248.5 km and flew a distance of 1,090 km for 4,052s before accurately hitting the pre-set area in open waters" in the Sea of Japan, KCNA said.
