N. Korea shows off possible solid-fuel missile at nighttime parade

SEOUL: Nuclear-armed North Korea displayed multiple long-range missiles during a nighttime parade, its state media reported on Thursday, including what analysts say could be a new, solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

North Korea held the widely anticipated nighttime military parade in Pyongyang on Wednesday to mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of its army, attended by leader Kim Jong-un, state news agency KCNA said.

The ICBMs showed North Korea’s “greatest” nuclear strike capability, the KCNA said, adding that the parade also featured tactical nuclear units.
