South Korea’s National Assembly voted Thursday to impeach the national police chief and the justice minister over their enforcement of martial law last week. The opposition-controlled assembly plans to submit a second impeachment motion against President Yoon Suk Yeol later in the day after the first motion last Saturday

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has vowed to "fight to the end" as impeachment looms over his martial law order.

South Korea’s President Yoon Suk-Yeol defended the martial law declaration that he initiated last week and accused opposition parties of being on “North Korea’s side” to paralyse state affairs.
