A smiling Kim Jong-un watched on as North Korea showed off "the world's most powerful weapon" at a huge parade with no social distancing. The despot regime unveiled what appeared to be a new submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) in a provocative move. The despot was pictured at the event, thought to have been held in capital Pyongyang today. A grinning Kim, clad in a leather coat and fur hat, waved as he oversaw the parade in Kim Il Sung Square, photos released by state media showed. The parade featured rows of marching soldiers, as well as a range of military hardware including tanks and rocket launchers. At the end, a number of what analysts said appeared to be new types of short-range ballistic missile and SLBMs rolled into the square on trucks.
