The unusual pictures, published in state media, were allegedly taken during Sunday's missile launch.
North Korean state media has released photographs it says were taken from its biggest missile launch since 2017.North Korea said the ballistic missile was an intermediate range Hwasong-12.
Two of the images show the moment of launch and the other apparently shows the missile in mid-flight, taken from above. But the East Asian state regularly defies the ban, and leader Kim Jong-un has vowed to bolster his country's defences. On Monday, KCNA said the missile had been launched to "verify its accuracy". Mr Kim was reportedly not present.
