North Korea has celebrated the success of its
fifth nuclear test carried out on September 9 with a mass rally in the centre
of Pyongyang.
The meeting of top regime officials was
attended by thousands of people, who filled up the iconic Kim Il-sung square in
Pyongyang in perfect coordination to celebrate, according to images released by
public broadcaster KCTV on Wednesday.
Although Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un did not
attend the event on Tuesday, top officials including army politburo chief Hwang
Pyong-so, Premier Pak Pong-ju and Secretariat member of the Workers' Party Choe
Ryong-hae were all present at the celebrations.
Workers' Party Vice Chairman Kim Ki-nam made a

hostile politics of the US and added that North Korea would continue promoting
its nuclear capability.
