North Korea celebrates nuclear test by holding a strange demonstration in Pyongyang

North Korea has hosted an eerie mass rally to celebrate the country's successful nuclear test, despite widespread international outrage.

The strange demonstration took place in the centre of the secretive state 's capital Pyongyang.
North Korea's state-run television KRT today aired a video of the epic celebration, in which countless thousands of residents moved in spooky synchronicity.

On Friday, Pyongyang set off its most powerful nuclear blast to date, saying it had mastered the ability to mount a warhead on a ballistic missile, ratcheting up a threat that its rivals and the United Nations have been powerless to contain.

KRT showed thousands of North Korean citizens and soldiers along with high-ranking government officials attending the rally and chanting in Pyongyang's Kim Il Sung square.
However, the isolated state's leader Kim Jong Un was not seen in the video and KRT did not specify the date of celebration.

During the rally, a senior government official hailed the reclusive country's successful nuclear test.
"The standardisation of the nuclear warhead will enable to produce at will and as many as it wants a variety of smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear warheads of higher strike power," said Kim Ki Nam, North Korea's vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).

South Korea said yesterday the North is ready to conduct an additional nuclear test at any time.
On Tuesday, two US B-1 bombers flew over South Korea in a show of force and solidarity with its ally.
