Its probably, as with lots of things, a combination of effects.
The nuclear mountain collapsing won't have helped, and as it's quite close to China, I imagine they are loosing patience fast. Kim had a meeting with China earlier this month. I imagine this was high on the list of the agenda rather than AOB.
Also, it sounds like they are ramping up the enforcement of sanctions. They identified and then impounded boats involved in illegal mid sea boat transfers of petroleum products not long ago. If they're really starting to get a hold on this, the pressure will only be mounting inside NK.
Plus, trump is so unhinged perhaps Kim just realised that messing with this guy could go all types of wrong. It is mad that I think the mental madman from Korea is less nuts than the president of the United states, but that's where we're at tight now.
