http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/northkorea/5085372/North-Korea-has-deployed-multiple-nuclear-warheads-ahead-of-launch.html

I think this is complete and utter rubbish. The USA wouldn't stand for NK having so many nukes.

The only viable nuke they thought they did have failed to go off in a test, which had all the signatures of just a kiloton of high explosive masquerading as the nuclear explosion.

To suddenly have "up to" 320 nuclear warheards ready for deployment stretches credulity, and makes the claims of WMD in Iraq look serious. .

It will be interesting to see if this gets traction though, and that the USA or Japan call for strikes on NK to prevent possible nuclear war!

A quote from that BBC report says.......

An unidentified South Korean official told Yonhap news agency that the rocket did appear to be carrying a satellite.

It goes on to say.....
 
If it is confirmed, North Korea will see this as a major propaganda victory, says the BBC's John Sudworth in Seoul.

Apparently it failed to get the satellite to orbit. More propaganda from us?
