North Korea held large rallies in Pyongyang where people shouted slogans against the United States and issued warnings about the regime’s alleged nuclear weapons stockpile, according to state-run media outlets.
Some 120,000 people and students allegedly turned out at rallies in the capital city on Saturday and Sunday, KCNA reported. Photos, some of which may have been doctored that were released by state media, showed a stadium crowded with masked people holding placards reading, “The whole U.S. mainland is within our shooting range” and “the imperialist U.S. is the destroyer of peace.”
Those rallies were held to commemorate the anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War, coming amid concerns Pyongyang could soon conduct another launch of its first military spy satellite to boost monitoring of U.S. military activities after its first attempt failed on May 31….
