North Korea appears to have held a huge military parade early Saturday, the South's military said, with Pyongyang defying its coronavirus isolation to put on a show of strength. "Signs of a military parade -- involving equipment and people on a large scale -- were detected at Kim Il Sung Square early this morning," Seoul's joint chiefs of staff said in a statement, adding that South Korean and US intelligence agencies were "closely tracking the event". cdl/slb/jah
