Kim Jong-Un smokes a cigarette beside North Korea's ICBM
Kim Jong Un was seen smoking a cigarette beside experimental engines on North Korea's intercontinental ballistic missile before it was launched.
The supreme leader of North Korea was only feet from the base of the Hwasong-14 which has untested liquid-fueled rocket engine.
