As a yearly ritual, Pyongyang marks its founding anniversary with a big display of pageantry and military hardware. Last year, North Korea conducted its fifth nuclear test on the Sept. 9 anniversary.
Only yesterday, President Donald Trump of the United States of America warned that an American military strike on North Korea is not inevitable, but it would be “a very sad day” for the Asian nation if it ever came to pass.
