Kim Jong Un shows off his weapons, and his daughter and possible heir, at a military parade

Seoul — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has put on a very public show of force — with an apparent nod to the longevity of his ruling family's dynasty. Kim had a front-row seat as his country's newest nuclear hardware was shown off at a massive military parade on Wednesday night, and for the second time in a week, his daughter and possible heir was also on display.

The dictator and family man brought his daughter Kim Ju Ae and his wife to the military parade. They all watched the annual spectacle, which featured more intercontinental ballistic missiles than ever before — weapons designed to reach targets in the U.S.

Kim ordered more than 40 missile launches during 2022, a record number, and watched several of them personally.
