North Korea held a military parade to mark its army's 75th anniversary.
Leader Kim Jong Un oversaw the event alongside his wife and young daughter, who has been speculated as a possible successor.
State media pictures showed him smiling and raising his hand while standing in a balcony, flanked by top generals, as thousands of troops, missile units, and vehicles passed by.
The weapons on display included a new solid-fueled ICBM and at least 10 Hwasong-17 ICBMs; the latter suggests mass production of the new missile is well underway.
North Korea has long sought to develop a solid-fuel ICBM that could make its nuclear weapons harder to detect and destroy.
The Guardian characterizes the parade as the country's biggest display yet of long-range missiles, suggesting that Kim's daughter might be groomed as a possible successor.
The Independent describes the display as North Korea's largest ever display of advanced nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Meanwhile, Euronews' report fuels speculation that Kim's daughter is being primed as a future leader of the country.
AP News, on the other hand, highlights the parade's significance as it shows North Korea's push for cementing its status as a nuclear power, with its official news agency saying it features "crucial weapons supporting the North's 'power-to-power, all-out confrontation.'"
While the sources differ in how they characterize the event, they all agree that the parade showed North Korea's latest military capabilities, including its growing nuclear arsenal.
The parade was also notable for the presence of Kim's young daughter, with some suggesting this could be a sign that she's being groomed to succeed him in the future.
However, North Korea has not made any official announcement regarding the succession plan.
The parade's timing is also significant, coming amidst deepening tensions with its neighbors and the US.
