South Korea on Tuesday held its first major military parade in 10 years showcasing a variety of weapons, including ballistic missiles and attack helicopters, as a display of strength and resolve against North Korea.
This parade celebrated Armed Forces Day, which is usually a more modest event compared to North Korea’s extravagant displays of military might under the leadership of Kim Jong Un, which often includes advanced weapons like intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
