Seoul, Oct 10 (EFE/EPA).- North Korea appears to have held a military parade early Saturday to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Workers' Party, South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said."Signs have been detected that North Korea conducted a military parade at the Kim Il-sung square at dawn by mobilizing a large number of equipment and personnel," the JCS said in a brief statement."South Korean and the US intelligence authorities have been analyzing (the event), including the possibility that it could be the main event, (not a rehearsal)," it added, local news agency Yonhap reported.

North Korea's previous efforts to put a spy satellite into orbit in May and August both failed, and Seoul, Tokyo and Washington had repeatedly warned Pyongyang not to proceed with another launch, which would violate successive rounds of UN resolutions. Japan issued an evacuation order to residents in the southern region of Okinawa before rescinding the call after the missile passed into the Pacific Ocean just before 11:00 pm (1400 GMT). IMAGES
