North Korean ice festival has distinctly military theme

Ice replicas of submarine launched ballistic missiles, tanks and aircraft featured

Ice-replicas of a North Korean submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), jet fighters, ships, and tanks are being featured at a festival in downtown Pyongyang, a state news broadcast showed on Monday.

The inclusion of Pyongyang's yet-to-be-perfected SLBM system among the military ice models on display appeared designed to emphasize the country's emerging nuclear weapons capabilities to a domestic audience.
