Jan 20, 2025, 10:01 AM
South Korea has dismissed four senior military commanders in connection with the declaration of martial law during the brief administration of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is currently under arrest. The commanders include the head of the Army's Counterintelligence Command, the Commander of the Capital Defense Command, the Commander of the Special Warfare Command, and the Commander of the Intelligence Command. The dismissals were confirmed amid ongoing scrutiny of the military's actions during the emergency measures implemented on December 3.
