Video. North Korea leader Kim Jong Un and daughter mark air force anniversary

Updated:

North Korea marked the 80th anniversary of its air force with an air show attended by Kim Jong Un and his daughter, displaying older jets, drones and surveillance aircraft.

North Korea held a large air show for its air force Saturday, with leader Kim Jong Un and his daughter taking part.

State media released footage a day later, showing Soviet-era jets, new drones and an early warning intelligence aircraft that have appeared in previous military displays.

The event took place at Kalma Airport near the coastal city of Wonsan, where North Korea has built a major tourist complex.

The airport was renovated several years ago and hosted an air show in 2016, but it still has no regular international flights.
