A North Korean missile reportedly crashed into one of its own cities after it failed just minutes following its launch.
US officials said the Hwasong-12 intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) was initially thought to have disintegrated mid-flight after it was fired on 28 April last year.
However, new data suggests it landed in the city of Tokchon, around 90 miles north of the secretive communist country’s capital, Pyongyang. Tokchon has a population of around 200,000.

And? Yes, I do realize Google doesn't own satellites. There are multiple parties that could have gotten an explicit before and after scan of the region around the North Korean launch site. Or maybe Landsat 8 just scans that much.
