These missiles are crude and unreliable and are so inaccurate they could not be used as a weapon for a specific target. The bad news is that they would only be accurate enough to toss a payload where accuracy is not a prerequesite - like nuclear, biological, chemical. Not likely with the first.
These lauches do a couple things - test 2 stage missiles that have not been launched in a while (and they need the testing) and lob the single stage missiles targeted on the press to create a little terror in the world.
The rumored Taesomething Dong 2 missile I think is a three stage rocket that would need to have an awful lot go correctly on numerous tests to reach something even approaching an initial operational capacity. Then the NKs would need to have a compact, lightweight warhead to do any damage with it... Nah, nothing to worry about.
Besides our missile defense systems will likely mature much faster than what NK can put out.
The biggest "weapon" NK will have is eventially being able to lob a bunch of SRBMs with a nuclear payload over Soeul or eventually Tokyo - and that is probably a while off.
Now the good news, today's event should create some new Kim Ill Song the 2nd Supreme Leader Comedy Material
