 South Korea put on its first large-scale military parade in a decade on September 26, with weapons ranging from ballistic missiles to tanks rolling through Seoul in a show of force as it takes a tougher stance against North Korea. The parade marked the country's Armed Forces Day, normally a muted event relative to the massive events the North has staged under leader Kim Jong-un that includes strategic weapons such as intercontinental ballistic missiles. A highlight was a two-kilometer parade through Seoul's main commercial and business district to the bustling Gwangwamun area that is the gate to a sprawling palace in the heart of the capital.
