"North Korean state media continues to celebrate the launch of two intercontinental ballistic missiles in July and the nation's status as a "global rocket power", although there are growing suggestions that ordinary people are less enthusiastic about the regime's achievements.
Quoting its network of covert contributors within North Korea, who communicate via mobile phone, the Seoul-based DailyNK news site has reported that ordinary citizens are asking - albeit quietly - how Kim Jong-un can afford missiles but continue to ration their food.
"Following the news that the regime launched missiles twice in July, locals are criticising the regime, asking, 'Where did it get the money?' ", a source in North Pyongan Province told DailyNK."
