Seoul, South Korea — President Yoon Suk Yeol on Tuesday declared an “emergency martial law,” accusing the opposition of effectively controlling the National Assembly, aligning with North Korea, and engaging in actions that have paralyzed the government. Yoon framed the move as necessary to protect South Korea’s constitutional order and restore stability amid rising political tensions. The announcement comes amid a deepening political standoff, with the government claiming that opposition forces are undermining national security and governance.
