Military forces and health workers in gas masks and hazmat suits paraded in North Korea in a celebration of the nation's 73rd anniversary that was a marked departure from past militaristic displays. The parade late Wednesday — overseen by leader Kim Jong Un, centered around paramilitary organizations and public security forces protecting the capital, Pyongyang. North Korean state television, which broadcast a recording of the event, showed the performers and tens of thousands of spectators roaring as Kim appeared as the clock struck midnight. 📸@afpphoto//KCNA via KNS, Korean Central News Agency/Korea News Service via @apnews #northkorea #kimjongun
