South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law in a late-night address, citing threats to the nation’s free constitutional order. He accused opposition forces of harming South Korea’s stability and blocking parliamentary processes. The shocking decision comes amid tensions over budget disputes and impeachment motions against top prosecutors. Opposition leader Lee Jae-myung warned of economic collapse and urged citizens to rally. The parliament’s entrance was reportedly blocked, and the currency, won, fell sharply. Yoon justified the move as necessary to protect South Korea from internal and pro-North Korean threats. Details of the measures under martial law remain unclear.
