North Korea appears to have held a military parade as part of celebrations to mark the 90th anniversary of its army founding, an event where it may have displayed its latest weapons to deliver nuclear warheads to the U.S. and its allies.
The parade was held Monday night in central Pyongyang, NK News and Yonhap News Agency reported, citing unnamed sources. There were no indications on whether North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attended and it was not mentioned in Tuesday morning dispatches from state media.
Kim’s regime has held military parades at night to highlight spectacles such as low-flying jets with LED lighting. It then edits video and shows it on state TV several hours after the event — with experts closely examining the images to assess the state’s latest advancements in weaponry. Illuminated objects and jets with flares were seen flying over the parade route, NK News reported sources on the ground as saying.
