N. Korea Claims Successful Test of Submarine-Fired Missile

On April 24, North Korea claimed to have had a successful test of a missile fired from one of their submarines. This seems like another military demonstration by North Korea, showing it's military might and warning other nations of the power they possess. South Korea reported the measured distance of the fired missile to be 30 kilometers which is much shorter than the usual submarine-fired missiles. If this test was actually successful, it's concerning to the other nations in the world. For North Korea to hold the ability to fire missiles from submarines would make it that much more difficult for the world to know what North Korea is up to until it happens.
