Again crowdsourcing a missile question...
Video the North Koreans released from their SLBM test earlier today. Most of
the way up (in these shots) there's a pyro event of some sort with many sparks,
but the rocket keeps going.

Anyone have ideas what the sparks / event were?
Similar sparks at first stage ignition but I think the second one is not a
staging event.

Studies pointed me at the vids wondering if deployment of suspected grid fins
was one of the spark showers. I think neither, but putting it out there...
Thanks!
