The parade aimed to showcase the country’s most advanced weapons and took place in the center of the capital Pyongyang. Kim Jong-un was accompanied by his wife Ri Sol Ju and daughter Ju Ae.
Images show how the North Korean leader, with his generals at his side, inspects and salutes soldiers. Among the weapons on display were also last generation intercontinental ballistic missiles. North Korea’s nuclear program is causing great concern in the United States and its allies in Asia. North Korea has repeatedly threatened to use nuclear weapons.
It was not certain whether the North Korean leader would show up yesterday. He has not appeared in public for about 35 days – until now – which has raised questions about Jong-un’s health.
