Martial Law Declared in South Korea
South Korean ex-defense minister arrested over treason charges related to martial law attempt
Kim Yong-hyun is reported to have played a key role in the brief imposition of martial law in South Korea, with a senior military official and opposition members' impeachment filings indicating he proposed the measure to President Yoon. This event led to an impeachment vote against Yoon in parliament on Saturday, although he survived it. Yoon is now under pressure to resign from his party leader. Prosecutors are also investigating whether President Yoon was involved in the martial law episode.
