Thousands of North Koreans gathered in a mass rally on Sunday morning expressing support for leader Kim Jong Un after his threats to create a 'new strategic weapon' over anger at stalled nuclear talks with the US.
Crowds gathered on the streets and the bridge near Kim Il Sung square amid a heavy police presence in Pyongyang, as reported by NK News.
During the rally the local cellphone network is understood to have been switched off, and a number of senior party figures are said to have attended.
It is not absolutely clear what the rally is for, but suggestions are that it was a political rally to express support for Kim Jong Un's comments last week where he expressed frustration over stalled nuclear talks.
