North Korea Mounts Military Parade

by VOA News

   North Korea's leader presided Sunday over a huge military parade,
   marking the North's 70th anniversary.

   Kim Jong Un did not, however, address the crowd assembled in
   Pyongyang's Kim Il Sung Square.

   The parade featured tanks, missiles and a multitude of goose-stepping
   units from all branches of the military.

   This year's celebration, however, did not feature the isolated nation's
   most advanced missiles.
