According to the latest BBC World News, the problem now is how the NK leadership is going to 'keep face' with their people. There is a possibliity that the new leader will authorise an underground nuclear test.

Also, this launch occurred from the new Sohae launch site, near Tongchang-ri, on the country's west coast. Previous "satellite" launches have occured from the Tonghae launch site on the East coast.
The new launch site negates the need to launch over Japanese territory.

That is unfortunately very likely, although I have a nagging suspicion that they would have done so anyways should the launch have succeeded.

DOD may have a different slant on that attempted launch ! Maybe we need to ask Badeskov`s about Laser targeting ? 
This is a Work in Progress!
