President Yun Suk-geol of South Korea declared “emergency martial law.”

The country’s leader decided this after previously accusing the country’s opposition of colluding with North Korea and paralysing the government by engaging in activities that hurt the nation while it controls the parliament.

Yun announced this at a televised briefing, citing the need to defend the country’s constitutional order. 

He even added that he would proceed to liquidate the elements that favour North Korea.

Notably, since taking office in 2022, the conservative Yun has struggled to advance his government’s agenda against an opposition-controlled parliament.
