NORTH Korea displayed what appeared to be new long-range and submarine-based missiles on the 105th birthday of its founding father Kim Il-sung yesterday, as a nuclear-powered US aircraft carrier group steamed towards the region.
A US navy attack on a Syrian airfield this month raised questions about US President Donald Trump’s plans for reclusive North Korea, which has conducted several missile and nuclear tests in defiance of UN and unilateral sanctions, regularly threatening to destroy the US.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, Kim Il-sung’s grandson, looking relaxed in a dark suit and laughing with aides, oversaw the huge parade on the “Day of the Sun” at Pyongyang’s Kim Il-sung Square.
Goose-stepping soldiers and marching bands filled the square, next to the Taedonggang River, which flows through Pyongyang, in the hazy spring sunshine, followed by tanks, launch-rocket systems and other weapons.
Single-engine propeller-powered planes flew in a 105 formation overhead.

North Korea showed two new kinds of ICBM enclosed in canister launchers mounted on the back of trucks, suggesting Pyongyang was working towards a “new concept” of ICBM, said Melissa Hanham, a senior research associate at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies in California.
“However, North Korea has a habit of showing off new concepts in parades before they ever test or launch them.
“It is still early days for these missile designs.”
North Korea, still technically at war with the South after their 1950-53 conflict ended in a truce but not a treaty, has on occasion conducted missile or nuclear tests to coincide with big political events and often threatens the US, South Korea and Japan. the brutal tombstone piledriver.

It warned: “All the brigandish provocative moves of the US in the political, economic and military fields pursuant to its hostile policy toward the DPRK will thoroughly be foiled through the toughest counteraction of the army and people of the DPRK,” the KCNA state news agency said, citing a Koreanarmy spokesperson.
