North Korea has celebrated in 73rd anniversary with a lavish parade, publishing photographs and footage for the world to see

The nation’s leader, Kim Jong Un was in attendance at the event, watching from the sidelines as the country’s largest civilian defence force put on a coordinated display.

The defence personnel were wearing orange hazmat suits, but there were no ballistic missiles in sight during the display in Pyong-Yang’s main square.

The ruling party’s newspaper also published photographs of people in hazmat suits wearing masks, believed to be a symbol of the nation’s coronavirus response.

Along with the soldiers were a number of conventional weapons, including rocket launchers and anti-tank missiles.

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.


President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.

The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.

With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
