North Korea to hold huge parades for 70th anniversary
10 October 2015 Asia
North Korea is holding what is expected to be one of its biggest celebrations ever, to mark the 70th anniversary of the ruling Workers' Party.
A cavalcade of armoured vehicles and ballistic missiles is expected to rumble through the capital Pyongyang accompanied by marching troops.
North Korea's supreme leader Kim Jong-un will preside over the ceremony, but no world leaders will be attending.
Analysts say the event will be closely watched for any new military hardware.
When it announced plans for the anniversary earlier this year, the government spoke of "cutting-edge" weaponry suitable for modern warfare.
