Seoul (AFP) - Tanks rumbled through downtown Seoul on Tuesday, as South Korea staged its largest military display in a decade and paraded a missile capable of high-precision strikes anywhere in North Korea.
President Park Geun-Hye warned of the "very grave" threat posed by Pyongyang's nuclear weapons programme as the two-part display began at an airbase south of the capital in the morning.
Some 11,000 troops and 120 aircraft took part in the event, which showcased the military's most advanced weaponry as US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel looked on.
