The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, often referred to simply as North Korea, marked the 75th anniversary of founding of the Korean People’s Army on Wednesday.
The occasion was celebrated with a nighttime military parade held at the Kim Il-Sung Square in Pyongyang, with this formidable display of military might involving a large number of intercontinental ballistic missile launchers.
North Korean head of state Kim Jong-un presided over the parade alongside his wife and daughter.
This showcase of military power comes amid reports that the United States mulls deploying medium-range missiles in Japan.
The Korean People's Army encompasses all branches of the North Korean military, including the land, air and naval forces, as well as the strategic missile forces and the special operations forces.
Despite heavy economic sanctions imposed against the country, North Korea maintains a powerful military-industrial complex that supplies the KPA with domestically manufactured weaponry supplemented by Chinese- and Soviet-made armaments.
A wide assortment of ballistic missiles in the KPA arsenal, which can carry nuclear payloads, presents a serious headache for the United States and its allies in the Far East.
