The fun part is that North Korea filed a flight advisory with the International Civil Aviation Organization, which you can see here. It even includes a map identifying "danger areas." Although the advisory doesn't specify what's so dangerous about the "danger areas," a test of rocketry could mean a few things: 1) they're places where booster stages might be falling, 2) "ditch" areas in case there's an accident and they need to drop it somewhere, and/or 3) along the same lines, "target" areas where they intend the rocket to come down.
Keeping in mind that the launch site -- Musudan-ri -- is located by the top-left corner of "F" in "FIR PYONGANG ZKKP" -- is there anything we can discern by looking at these images?

It's bad enough that North Korea is shooting this rocket over Japan -- just north of the Kanto area, the most heavily populated -- but if you draw a line on those zones, you're headed for...
Pearl Harbor.
Dear Leader, THIS is why you're so "ronery."
