North Korea military parade as seen from space

The following is a satellite image taken on 15th April 2012 & released 2 days later which shows a military parade winding through the center of Pyongyang, North Korea. On that day, North Korea's Kim Jong Un delivered his first major public speech as the country celebrated the centenary of its founder's birth, and called for a push to "final victory".

Kim smiled and joked with generals on a podium after the speech despite Friday's embarrassing failure to successfully launch a rocket.
