Not a test and more likely either earthquake or cave in since 250-300kt nuclear test in 2017 is probably pushing limit of the mountain to contain it.

KCNA navy images.....and at 7:48 - 7:51 a Tunan class corvette with a North Korean version of the 76/62 Oto Melara Compatto with stealth turret in a rapid fire exercise.
But be careful: with only one rear door, like the first versions of the Oto Melara, which were used exclusively by Israelis and South Africans, as well as by the Myanmar Navy, which bought them second-hand (supplied by Israel or South Africa), A A Unlike later versions of the Oto Melara used by numerous naval units in many countries, this version is also produced by the Iranians as the Fajr-27, having 2 inspection hatches, one on each side.

Now everyone will have their own version of Pershing-II. Iran and China already have similar stuff for a while now NK.
I wonder if Russia will follow the suite and revive even spicier Pioneer but with conventional warhead.
Pershing-II is much shorter and an MRBM compared to this NK IRBM.
The Russians have something better in the cards. RS-26 Rubezh. Basically a Yars lower stage with an Avanguard hypersonic glide vehicle on top. Supposed to use a road mobile launcher.
The project was frozen until the US decides to put the Dark Eagle in service near Russia's borders. But development is basically done. It just wasn't produced. In the meantime the Russians just sped up replacement of their Topol missiles with Yars missiles. They replaced their single warhead road mobile ICBMs with MIRVed ones with four warheads each.
Also in the video, the Russian forumist "hufden" posted a screenshot of the Amnok class 661 corvette (different class from the one shown above) and that a pair of cruise missile launchers can be seen in the superstructure amidships and the 533 mm TLS towards the stern.
PS
It should be noted that the obsolete 100mm manually loaded artillery is still installed in the bow, which at this point after having seen the similar "compact" on board the Tunan, I think that this corvette will soon also be updated to the new system

Very interesting. Seems to be a video celebrating the new achievements of the NK Navy, with lots of new images of other ship classes that I've been looking forward to for a long time.
Nongo-class missile corvette?
Very Slender Vessel?
With AK-630 30mm CIWS, it seems like a combat variant instead of smaller versions for covert operation. Are they intended to replace old torpedo boats?
