Kim Jong Un Praises “Irresistible Might” of North Korean Military at 75th Anniversary Celebration

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his daughter recently visited troops to mark the 75th founding anniversary of the country’s army. During the visit, Kim praised the “irresistible might” of his nuclear-armed military, according to North Korean state media.

The visit was followed by a massive military parade in the capital, Pyongyang, where Kim was expected to showcase the latest hardware of his fast-growing nuclear weapons program. This program has caused concern among North Korea’s neighbors and the United States.

The North Korean government released a photo of Kim and his daughter attending a feast to mark the 75th anniversary of the Korean People’s Army at an unspecified place in North Korea. During the event, Kim reportedly praised the military’s “invincible spirit” and “unprecedentedly powerful combat capabilities.”

North Korean military parades are closely watched by outside governments and experts as they often feature newly developed weapons. It is believed that the parade in Pyongyang will feature a variety of new weapons, including missiles and tanks.

The visit and parade come at a time of heightened tensions between North Korea and the United States. Despite this, Kim has continued to emphasize the importance of the North Korean military and its capabilities.
