 North Korea marked the national holiday of late leader Kim Jong Il’s birthday with modest celebratory events compared to the past.

Its current leader, Kim Jong Un, paid tribute to his late father’s mausoleum at Kumsusan Palace in Pyongyang on Friday just after midnight, its state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said.

This year, the list of accompanying officials included party officials, but no military officials, according to the state news report.

"He entered the hall of immortality where Kim Jong Il lies in state ... [and] paid deep homage and made bow,” KCNA reported.
