Kim, wearing a gray suit, watched military celebrations to mark his nation's founding from a balcony overlooking Kim Il Sung Square in Pyongyang.
The parade is believed to have kicked off around midnight with an elaborate display of fireworks and military might. A column of fighter jets flew in formation above the square and parachutists landed with national flags, reported the Korean Central News Agency .
Kim waved to the cheering crowd, which responded with thunderous applause, calls of"Hurrah!" and chants of"Kim Jong Un," the agency added. Photos showed North Korean troops marching in orange hazmat suits while thousands of unmasked spectators lined the streets. Ri Il Hwan, a member of the ruling Workers' Party's Politburo, delivered a speech, saying the government would continue to strengthen defense capabilities and"firmly defend the dignity and fundamental interests of our people and solve everything our own way with our own efforts on the principle of self-reliance," according to the KCNA. It is unclear whether Kim also gave a speech.
A range of military hardware was displayed during the parade but the weapons did not appear to include any new missiles.
