[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] North Korea was detected conducting a military parade at Kim Il-sung Square during late-night hours on the 10th.


The Joint Chiefs of Staff stated, "South Korean and U.S. intelligence agencies are closely tracking this activity, including the possibility that it is either the main event or a rehearsal."


Previously, North Korea held a military parade at night in October last year to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Party, featuring intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Military authorities are reportedly analyzing with a focus on the likelihood that this was the main event. If the main event took place, it is expected that North Korean State Affairs Commission Chairman Kim Jong-un attended and received the parade report.



Since North Korea's Korean Central Television broadcast a recorded live coverage on the afternoon of the parade day last year, it is anticipated that footage of the Party Congress parade may be released as early as the same day.
