> The timing of the test, coinciding with Pence's trip and a day after the military parade, would suggest deliberate defiance

How? The parade happened as part of the "Day of the Sun," their most important holiday and when they usually hold a military parade and showcase new weapons.

They launched it on Sunday. Day of the Sun was Saturday.

The parade they mention was Saturday, and Day of Sun is a three day holiday. Saying a test on day two suggests defiance still seems like a stretch.

It's the public holiday honoring the founder's birthday. Everything I've seen, online or elsewhere, says it's one day.

The founders birthday is the fifteenth, and it is followed by two days of rest.
