SEOUL, South Korea — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his young daughter took center stage at a huge military parade, fueling speculation she’s being primed as a future leader as her father showed off his latest, largest nuclear missiles.

The parade featured the newest hardware in Kim’s arsenal, including what experts say was possibly a new solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile he could test in the coming months. Around a dozen ICBMs were displayed, an unprecedented number that underscores how Kim continues to expand his military capabilities despite limited resources.
