From Sun

South Korea’s president has declared martial law in the country to flush out pro-North Korean elements. 

In a late-night emergency television address, President Yoon Suk Yeol declared the move “essential to safeguarding the nation’s constitutional order.”

He accused the opposition of dominating the parliament, aligning with North Korea, and undermining the government through actions he characterized as anti-state.

The immediate impact of these measures on the country’s governance and democratic institutions remains uncertain.
