Kim Jong Un, daughter attend mega military parade amid succession rumours

After over a month of being out of the public eye, North Korea's Kim Jong-un made another public appearance on Wednesday to celebrate 75 years of North Korea's army.

Kim was joined by his daughter Kim Ju-ae, who is being touted as his successor by experts. Kim Ju Ae is believed to be 9 or 10 years old and is reportedly his second child.

This was the 4th time that Kim Ju-ae appeared alongside her father since November last year. All appearances came at events of military importance, fuelling speculation of her succession.

The parade came a day after Kim brought his daughter to visit troops to mark the Army's 75th founding anniversary as he lauded the 'irresistible might' of his nuclear-armed military.

North Korean state media photos of the parade published on Thursday showed Kim attending the event with his wife and young daughter. He was seen smiling and waving his hand from a balcony as thousands of troops lined up in the brightly illuminated Kim Il Sung Square, named after his grandfather, who founded the country.

The leader presided over a huge military parade in Pyongyang, where the country's missiles possessing 'greatest' nuclear strike ability were put on display, as per the official state media.

The demonstration included 11 of North Korea's biggest ICBMs to date, Hwasong-17s as well as 4 solid-fuel ICBMs.

Commercial satellite images of the parade released by Maxar Technologies Inc. showed huge, missile-carrying trucks passing the square’s main road as thousands of spectators watched.

North Korean military parades are closely watched by outside governments and experts as they often feature newly developed weapons the North intends to test or deploy.
