South Korea announces the implementation of martial law.

South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol has declared a "state of emergency" in the country, accusing the opposition of controlling the parliament, sympathizing with North Korea, and paralyzing the government through anti-state activities.

According to Associated Press.

During a televised briefing, the president stated that the introduction of martial law is critically important for protecting the constitutional order of the country.
