Martial Law Declared in South Korea
South Korea's parliament votes to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over martial law debacle
South Korean lawmakers voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his attempt to impose martial law, with 204 members of parliament supporting the motion and 85 opposing it. The vote resulted in Yoon's suspension from office while the Constitutional Court deliberates on the decision. The opposition parties needed the support of at least eight members of Yoon's People Power Party to succeed in the impeachment vote. The vote was a response to Yoon's failed bid to impose martial law, with protesters demanding he be thrown out of office. The prime minister, Han Duck-soo, took over presidential powers following the vote.
