South Korea’s Parliament Overturns Martial Law Amid Protests. South Korea’s opposition parties have filed a motion to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol following his brief declaration of martial law, which has plunged the nation into its worst political crisis in decades. The late-night announcement on Tuesday led to troops entering the National Assembly where lawmakers used fire extinguishers to block their advance, as protesters clashed with police outside. Yoon justified martial law by claiming it was necessary to defend against North Korea and anti-state forces, though he cited no specific threats. Within hours, parliament unanimously voted to overturn the order, with even members of Yoon’s own party supporting the motion. Protesters outside celebrated the reversal, chanting, “We won”. The crisis has also caused international ripples, with Sweden’s prime minister Ulf Kristersson postponing a visit to South Korea.
