North Korea staged its first military parade in seven months, with leader Kim Jong Un pledging to strengthen his state’s atomic arsenal as he presided over an event showcasing nuclear-capable weapons that threaten the US and its allies.
The parade was held Monday night in central Pyongyang, the state’s official Korean Central News Agency reported Tuesday. The event included displays of tactical weapons and the country’s biggest intercontinental ballistic missile, the Hwasong-17, KCNA said, adding its missile can respond to “any kind of warfare in the sky, the earth, the sea, and the universe”.
