Kim Jong-Un unveiled a new nuclear missile during a military parade in North Korea's capital Pyongyang. The march includes thousands of North Korean soldiers, accompanied by military vehicles, such as tanks, in a highly choreographed formation.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un waves as he prepares to leave Vietnam by train after a two day official visit preceded by the DPRK-USA Hanoi summit, on March 2, 2019 in Dong Dang, Vietnam. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un met with Vietnamese President Nguyen Phu Trong and Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc during his two-day official visit following a failed summit with U.S. President Donald Trump in Hanoi which ended without agreement.
Experts said that if the missile, which was the parade's climax display, becomes operational, it would be one of the largest road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in the world. The new nuke was shown on transporter vehicle with 11 axles, showing how big it really is.
According the The Sun's latest report, other displayed weapons include a new submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) and the Hwasong-15, which is the longest-range missile ever tested by Korea.
Kim Jong-un confirmed no country is targeted
North Korea's supreme leader said that the new nuclear missile and other weapons were not targeted at any country right now. However, if any nation tries to harm the country, he'll use the missiles.

North Korea’s new nuclear missile is terrifying, but also my 1980’s-comedy-broken brain can’t look at the image without hearing “Soulfinger” by the Bar-Kay’s playing in my head. pic.twitter.com/YHGwJRc7xw — Holt Lackey (@HoltMLackey) October 10, 2020

"If any force harms the safety of our nation, we will fully mobilize the strongest offensive might in a pre-emptive manner to punish them," said Kim Jong-un.
Chad O'Carroll, Korea Risk Group's CEO who monitors North Korea, said that the new military march displayed more weapons compared to the previous parades.
Kim Jong-un cries as North Korea has "zero" COVID-19 cases
According to BBC News' previous report, Kim Jong-un also announced that he was grateful that no North Koreans had contracted COVID-19, which causes the ongoing global pandemic.
"I wish good health to all the people around the world who are fighting the ills of this evil virus," he said.
Although the supreme leader claims that there are no coronavirus cases in the country, he still ensures that tight restrictions are implemented in North Korea. Many experts still insist that it is highly unlikely that North Korea has not experienced any COVID-19 cases at all.
