Video: North Korea apparently shows new missile at military parade

VIDEO SHOWS: STORY: North Korea has unveiled a possible new solid-fueled ICBM during a night military parade. As part of the celebrations marking the 75th anniversary of the North Korean army, ruler Kim Jong Un oversaw the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons units, state news agency KCNA reported on Thursday. Kim described the parade as a demonstration of the country’s “significant” nuclear attack capability. Contrary to United Nations sanctions, North Korea has pushed ahead with the development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles in recent years. Most of the country’s largest ballistic missiles run on liquid fuel, so they must be refueled at the launch site, a time-consuming process. Developing a long-range solid-propellant missile has long been considered an important goal for North Korea, since equivalent nuclear missiles would be harder to detect and destroy in a conflict. It remained unclear whether the development of the putative new missile has already reached the testing phase. North Korea has occasionally displayed dummies at the parades.
