Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chinese Communist Party politburo member Li Hongzhong attended a military parade marking 70 years since the armistice halting the Korean War.
Ednews informs via foreign media that North Korea held a late-night military parade in Pyongyang on the 70th anniversary of the end of the Korean War on Thursday night, its state news agency KCNA reported early on Friday.
July 27 is known as "Victory Day" in North Korea.
Nuclear-capable missiles and new attack drones were among the weapons on display, according to state media.
"Strategic unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and multi-purpose attack drones newly developed and produced... flew in demonstrations while circling in the sky over (Kim Il Sung) square, doubling the joy of the people celebrating," KCNA said.
North Korea unveiled new drones earlier in the week at an event attended by visiting Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who was shown in KCNA images flanking Kim along with Chinese Communist Party official Li Hongzhong on a balcony overlooking the parade in Kim Il Sung square.
Although the KCNA material is not verifiable, a parade was anticipated given the 70th anniversary and researchers monitoring the patchy satellite data available said there were indications of a large gathering on Thursday evening at the site.
