North Korea holds military parade, without showing ICBMs

PYONGYANG, Sept 9, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – North Korea held a military parade
Sunday to mark its 70th birthday, but refrained from showing off the
intercontinental ballistic missiles that have seen it hit with multiple
international sanctions.

Troops, artillery and tanks made their way past leader Kim Jong Un in the
centre of Pyongyang, but the largest missiles shown were short-range
battlefield devices, an AFP reporter on scene witnessed.
