North Korea appears to hold military parade, NK News says

North Korea appears to have held a military parade to celebrate the 110th birthday of its deceased state founder Kim Il Sung, NK News said, but there were no indications whether new weaponry was displayed.

Jets and helicopters were heard flying low over the city center Thursday night, and roads were closed in parts of the capital, the specialist news service cited sources in Pyongyang as saying.

The event comes as leader Kim Jong Un, the grandson of the state founder, ramped up regional tensions last month by testing an intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time since 2017 and appears to be preparing for his first test of a nuclear bomb in more than four years.
