South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law on Tuesday evening, a move that the opposition rejected as "unconstitutional."
In the startling move, Yoon said in an unannounced late-night television address that the step was necessary to “protect the country from North Korea's communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements.”
He claimed that the decision was taken to remove pro-North Korea forces from the country while protecting the liberal constitutional order.
