2:09Now PlayingNorth Korea tensions are reaching new heights. The regime test-fired over 70 ballistic missiles in 2022 and at the start of the year, Kim pledged to increase his nuclear arsenal to stifle US and South Korean hostile acts.
Bloomberg Quicktake's Kurumi Mori reports from the front line of the DMZ. a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula that serves as a buffer zone between the North and the South.
North Korea appears to be staging its first military parade in almost a year, providing leader Kim Jong Un a platform to show off his latest weapons after threatening to exponentially expand his nuclear arms programs.
Illuminated jets flew low over Pyongyang and music could be heard in Kim Il Sung Square in the center of the city in the early hours of Wednesday, suggesting a parade was being held, specialist service NK News reported. But there still uncertainty whether the event took place in the reclusive and secretive country, with the Yonhap News Agency reporting that the South Korean government expects the parade to be held later Wednesday.
Satellite images over the past several weeks have shown parade preparations underway to mark the 75th anniversary of the founding of its army Wednesday. If a parade is held overnight, Kim’s propaganda machine usually edits footage from the event to show on state media several hours later, with outside weapons experts set to examine the images to take stock of his arsenal.
