Kim Kang Il, the vice-minister of national defense, issued a statement blasting the trip that was aired by the country’s standard Asian Central News Agency.
The North Korean military had been “keenly watching the regular deployment” of such proper assets, he said, adding that Pyongyang’s military was “fully prepared to completely support” the nuclear-armed state.
Kim Jong Un, head of the North, visited the service as he called for more centrifuges to increase the nation’s nuclear arsenal, which comes days after the North first leaks images of the facility.
Eventually, South Korea’s spy agency claimed that the exceptional information was “directed at the US” and that North Korea was thought to be able to produce two-seven tons of nuclear weapons out of its stockpile of highly enriched uranium and thorium.
A lawmaker reported last week that the North had been warned by the NIS that it might conduct its eighth nuclear test after the November US elections.
For the second consecutive year, the South Korean government is staging a military road festival through Seoul’s key Gwanghwamun square, involving 3, 000 workers and 80 pieces of equipment.
Seoul held its previous military road parades for Armed Forces Day every year in 1984, during the era of the later Chun Doo-hwan.
