The Friday night event featured Pyongyang's"paramilitary forces", state media said on Saturday, rather than soldiers in the regular army, and it did not appear to showcase the country's banned weaponry, including intercontinental ballistic missiles. Russian diplomats also attended the event, as well as a Russian military song-and-dance ensemble which had arrived in Pyongyang to mark the occasion, KCNA reported.
Russian President Vladimir Putin sent Kim a message marking the anniversary, KCNA said Saturday, in which he called for the two countries to"expand the bilateral ties in all respects".Friday's parade, the nuclear-armed state's third parade this year, came two days after Pyongyang unveiled its first"", with Kim declaring it part of a"push forward with the nuclear weaponisation of the Navy".
