Kim shows off new drones, ICBMs to Russian minister

(UPDATE) SEOUL: Walking past huge intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and previously unseen military drones, North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un gave Russia's defense chief a tour of Pyongyang's newest and most advanced weaponry on Thursday, state media reported.

After Washington accused Pyongyang earlier this year of supplying Moscow with weapons for its war on Ukraine, photographs in state media showed Kim walking Moscow's Sergei Shoigu through a vast defense exhibition showcasing the North's nuclear missiles and what Seoul-based specialist site NK News said were new unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
