SEOUL – North Korea unveiled previously unseen intercontinental ballistic missiles at an unprecedented predawn military parade Saturday that showcased the country’s long-range weapons for the first time in two years.

Analysts said the missile, which was shown on a transporter vehicle with 11 axles, would be one of the largest road-mobile intercontinental ballistic missiles in the world if it becomes operational.

“This missile is a monster,” said Melissa Hanham, deputy director of the Open Nuclear Network.

The parade featured North Korea’s ballistic missiles for the first time since Kim Jong Un began meeting with international leaders, including US President Donald Trump, in 2018.(Reuters)
