Jets fly over Pyongyang overnight in likely training for military parade

Videos seen by NK News show planes with flares and LED lights, while photos show preparations in Kim Il Sung Square

A number of aircraft cruised in formation at low altitude over the North Korean capital overnight, videos seen by NK News show, in a likely training event for an upcoming military parade that appears set for the Feb. 8 Korean People’s Army (KPA) founding anniversary.

Multiple jets with flares appeared flying over central Pyongyang in the direction of Kim Il Sung Square, with illuminated propellor planes also flying in formation the same direction later on.
