No. After all the posturing and ultimatums, nothing will happen.

It could have been problematic if the missile had failed and N Korea blamed an anti-missile. Or it could have been a problem had it crashed on Japan. Then we might have discovered who is currently in charge - Kim or his extremist military.

Maybe the rocket did not do as well as they expected. We don't even know that. But there is no indication that anything obtained orbit implying the rocket was not as powerful as they claimed.
