North Korean leader Kim Jong-un leads a ruling party congress in Pyongyang on Tuesday.

Military aircraft were spotted releasing fireworks in formation, said NK News, a website that monitors North Korea, citing a source who saw fireworks. On Wednesday, Kim Yo-jong, the sister of leader Kim Jong-un and a member of the party Central Committee, criticised South Korea’s military for saying it had detected signs of a parade in Pyongyang on Sunday.

Leader Kim and other North Korean officials had packed into an indoor stadium in Pyongyang on Wednesday to watch performances from military and civilian art troupes and youth groups, mostly on themes of glorifying Kim’s leadership and reinforcing messaging from the party congress, news agency KCNA reported on Thursday.
