South Korean opposition parties have filed a motion to impeach President Yoon Suk-yeol following his brief declaration of martial law. The motion was submitted after Yoon's attempt to impose martial law to 'liquidate pro-DPRK elements' was met with swift backlash, leading to the National Assembly voting against it. The impeachment motion is set to be debated, with a potential vote occurring as early as Friday. This political move reflects growing discontent with Yoon's governance and his controversial handling of the martial law situation.
