All eyes on Saturday are on the military parade in Pyongyang to celebrate the 105th birthday of the country's founder, Kim Il Sung, as tensions on the Korean Peninsula have grown to a worrying level. 
On the watching list is the latest military technology the DPRK could display, such as a long-range rocket. The parade is an occasion for Pyongyang to show its military power fueled by homegrown technologies despite crippling sanctions.
