SEOUL -- North Korea is believed to be planning a military parade in Pyongyang on Sept. 9 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the country's founding, South Korea's National Intelligence Service revealed Tuesday.
The North may be planning something on a similar scale to a major parade in February that celebrated the 70th anniversary of its military. It has invited high-level guests from overseas in hopes of boosting the September event's profile, but few appear to have said yes.
