Could a meteorite start a war?

13. Depends on which type of country the meteorite lands in.

I think the advanced nations, with advanced radar and surveillance, would know full well what had happened - a natural meteorite and not an enemy strike.

Some more primitive country like North Korea, though, might not know, as you pointed out. Also, if a bellicose country wants to use it as a pretext for going to war, well then, I suppose there's no stopping them. They'll do what they want to do.
