North Korea parades largest long-range missile array

[Social Media]

North Korea has shown its largest display ever of intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), a number analysts say could potentially challenge the US' defence system.

About a dozen long-range ICBMs were shown at Wednesday's military parade.

Leader Kim Jong-un was seen at the midnight parade with his young daughter elevated to his side.

Kim Ju-ae's appearance has fuelled speculation she's being positioned as the successor.

The number of long-range missiles shown in the parade has prompted concern. Analysts say such a number of the missiles - which can in theory hit as far as the US mainland - could potentially overwhelm US nuclear defences if each missile carried multiple war heads.
