Kim unveils Hwasong-20 at rain-soaked Pyongyang parade

Under rain and floodlights in Pyongyang's main square, Kim Jong Un led a parade marking the Workers' Party's 80th anniversary, unveiling the Hwasong-20 intercontinental missile—yet to be tested and which he may be preparing to test in coming weeks. At least three appeared on 11-axle launchers as troops, including units sent to Russia, marched beneath North Korean and Russian flags. Kim vowed an "invincible" military and praised his fighters in Ukraine. With China's Li Qiang, Vietnam's To Lam and Russia's Dmitry Medvedev on hand, he showcased shorter-range, cruise and hypersonic missiles, plus tanks, artillery and drones.
