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.
