Kim Jong Un Showcases North Korea’s Most Powerful Nuclear Weapon at Parade

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un presided over a grand military parade marking the 80th anniversary of the Workers’ Party, attended by foreign dignitaries including China’s Li Qiang and Russia’s Dmitry Medvedev. The parade showcased the Hwasong-20 intercontinental ballistic missile, described as North Korea’s “strongest nuclear strategic weapon.” Experts note its potential to target the US, though questions remain about its precision and re-entry survivability. Analysts suggest it is designed for multiple warheads to challenge US defenses. Kim praised North Korean troops, including those aiding Russia in Ukraine, and pledged stronger ties with Moscow while urging continued military growth.
