North Korea today marks the anniversary of the founding of the military, emphasizing its stance to strengthen military power. In North Korea, 8 days will mark 76 years since the establishment of the Korean People's Army.

Last year marked the 75th anniversary, and a large-scale military parade was held in the capital, Pyongyang, with General Secretary Kim Jong-un in attendance. So far there have been no signs of a military parade, but it is expected that the government will emphasize through state-run media its stance.
