North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un will attend a military parade in Beijing on 3 September, China's foreign ministry has said. The so-called "Victory Day" parade will mark the 80th anniversary of China's war against Japan and the end of World War Two. Russia's President Vladimir Putin will also be among the 26 heads of state expected to attend the event. China is expected to showcase its latest weaponry including hundreds of aircraft, tanks and anti-drone systems - the first time its military's new force structure is being fully showcased in a parade.
