North Korea put on a display of military might by holding a parade through Pyongyang to mark the armed forces’ 75th anniversary.

The parade showcased at least 11 advanced Hwasong-17 ICBMs that are capable of striking the US.

State-run media described the event as showing off North Korea’s “largest nuclear attack capability” to date.

Kim Jong-un presided over the commemorative parade on the night of Wednesday, 8 February.
