South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an ‘emergency martial law,’ accusing the country’s opposition of controlling the parliament, sympathizing with the DPRK and paralyzing the government with anti-state activities.

Yoon made the announcement during a televised briefing, vowing to “eradicate pro-DPRK forces and protect the constitutional democratic order.” It wasn’t immediately clear how the steps would affect the country’s governance and democracy.
