North Korea holds military parade with missiles
10 October 2020
North Korea held a rare night-time military parade on Saturday, attended by leader Kim Jong-un.
The parade marked the 75th anniversary of the Workers' Party.
North Korea typically uses its parades to show off new missiles and weaponry. Experts say intercontinental ballistic missiles were evident during Saturday morning's event.
It is the country's first parade in two years and comes just weeks ahead of the US presidential election.
North Korea had not featured ballistic missiles in its parades since President Donald Trump and Mr Kim held their first summit in 2018.
