New missiles paraded

Seoul: North Korea displayed what appeared to be a new submarinelaunched ballistic missile (SLBM) at a parade on Thursday, state media reported, capping more than a week of political meetings with a show of military might.

Leader Kim Jongun smiled and waved as he oversaw the parade in Pyongyang's Kim Il Sung Square, photos by state media showed.

The parade featured rows of marching soldiers, as well as military hardware including tanks and rocket launchers.

At the end, what appeared to be new variants of shortrange ballistic missiles and SLBMs rolled into the square on trucks. — Reuters
