North korea officials CRYING launch

Hilariously dramatic clip shows North Korean officials CRYING after Thunderbirds-style rocket launch
North Korea's state-run television KRT today aired a video of its leader Kim Jong-un watching the country's recent rocket launch.

The hilariously dramatic footage shows the North Korean leader watching the launch with several other officials - complete with cheesy theme music, of course.

One particularly cringe-worthy moment in the footage shows state leaders bursting into tears as they witnessed the event.

North Korea said it put a satellite into orbit on February 7, but the US and its allies see the launch as a cover for Pyongyang's development of ballistic missile technology that could be used to deliver a nuclear weapon across the Pacific Ocean.

The UN Security Council has strongly condemned the launch and promised to take action, while Washington has vowed to ensure the 15-nation body impose "serious consequences" on Pyongyang as soon as possible.

Launch: North Korea broadcasts the video of the event
Earlier this week, it was reported that Kim Jong-un executed his military chief after accusing him of corruption.

The dictator has removed a number of senior officials in recent months for 'crimes' such as treason and watching South Korean soap operas.

Cheesy: The video even came with its own Thunderbirds-style music
Military chief Ri Yong Gil had been chief of the general staff for Kim Jong-un's regime since he was appointed to the role in August 2013.

It is not yet known how he was killed.
