In response, the South Korean National Assembly convened and voted unanimously, 190-0, to block President Yoon's martial law declaration, with the Speaker declaring it invalid. The vote occurred amidst reports of military helicopters hovering over parliament and soldiers attempting to arrest lawmakers. The situation remains tense as the military's allegiance is uncertain, with 110 MPs who support the President boycotting the vote.
