A weapons test this week has become the latest point of contention between North and South Korea, with Pyongyang saying they fired an advanced multiple warhead missile and Seoul accusing them of lying.

Hours after North Korean state media lauded the "success" of their test and ran pictures as proof on Thursday, the South called it "deception and exaggeration" and released their evidence pointing towards failure.

Meanwhile, Analysts remain uncertain about the truth of the North's claims.

The dispute underscores the complexities of verifying North Korea's weapons development, which continues to advance despite severe international sanctions.

If North Korea's latest claims are true, it would represent significant progress in its missile programme.
