North Korea staged a widely anticipated military parade on Monday, a South Korean military source said, marking its army's founding anniversary with a display expected to include the nuclear-armed country's latest weapons.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency earlier reported that North Korea was conducting the parade after sundown on Monday, citing unnamed military sources. The event was believed to include some of the North's newest missiles, including its largest Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), which was first test-fired last month, the agency reported.
