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.

Yes. The GOP already knows this.
Anon, what a bizarre comment, and completely untrue. If you are referring to President Trumps rally, people want to attend because they admire the President and the great job he is doing. No attendance is taken. Whereas with Kim, I suppose if someone is absent without good cause, they are executed by some horrible method, or sent to a slave labor camp.
