N Korea celebrates founder's birthday; US prepares for provocations


Jets and helicopters flew low over central Pyongyang on Thursday night indicating a possible military parade, specialist service NK News cited sources in the capital as saying. (Photo: AFP)In recent years, North Korea has held military parades at night and then edited footage for airing several hours later on state TV. But as of 7.30pm local time Friday, North Korea had not made any statement about a parade or shown any footage. North Korea had previously used the celebrations to show off its military might, parade new weapons through the streets of Pyongyang and hold rallies demonstrating support for its leader. The Joe Biden administration’s envoy for North Korea policy, Sung Kim, said earlier this month Pyongyang may be looking at a nuclear or missile test to coincide with the events.
