SEOUL: Tanks rumbled through downtown Seoul yesterday, as South Korea staged its largest military display in a decade and paraded a missile capable of high-precision strikes anywhere in North Korea.
President Park Geun-Hye warned of the “very grave” threat posed by Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons programme as the two-part display began at an airbase south of the capital.
Some 11,000 troops and 120 aircraft took part, showcasing the military’s most advanced weaponry as USnited States Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel looked on. The Defence Ministry said the display was the largest since 2003. AFP
