North Korea held a massive military parade highlighted by intercontinental ballistic missiles in its capital on Thursday, just one day before South Korea hosts the opening ceremony of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Later, North Korea displayed its most powerful strategic weapons, including what appeared to be Hwasong-14 and Hwasong-15 ICBMs rolled out on launcher trucks. An image made from video shows a military parade held in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Thursday ahead of the opening ceremony for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. North Korea had said it would hold a big event to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of its military. Though possibly best known for their legions of goose-stepping troops, North Korean military parades are the country's primary means of showing off its most recent advances in military technology — sometimes with aspirational mock-ups.
