North Korea's night fever ceremony was held in commemoration of the 8th Party Congress yesterday evening at Kim Il-Sung Square in Pyongyang.
General Secretary Kim Jong-un participated in a row with senior executives.
At yesterday's rowing ceremony, various weapons, including a new SLBM and an improved missile for the'North Korean version of Iskander', appeared.
The new SLBM that was released this time was written as'North Pole-5ㅅ', but the diameter and warhead were larger than the'North Pole-4ㅅ' that appeared on the anniversary of the establishment of the party last October, raising the possibility of being a multi-warhead mounted type.
The Central News Agency referred to the SLBM as "a strategic underwater ballistic missile, the world's strongest weapon," and said, "It showed off the power of the revolutionary strong force that firmly established the strength of military technology that overwhelms the world."
The Central News Agency also showed off North Korea's nuclear power with words such as'the Labor Party's reliable nuclear armament' and'a world-class nuclear powerhouse'.
Defense Minister Kim Jeong-gwan, who spoke at the column Byeong-sik, said, "If hostile forces infringe on the national security even a little, we will preemptively mobilize the strongest offensive forces and punish thoroughly."
It was only three months after the anniversary of the establishment of the party in October last year that North Korea held a fever ceremony, and this is the first time that it has held a fever ceremony in commemoration of the party conference.
