South Korea witnessed a dramatic day as President Yoon Suk Yeolโ€™s unprecedented declaration of martial law sent shockwaves through the nation. Armored vehicles and troops briefly mobilized on the streets of Seoul, sparking mass protests outside Parliament. Thousands of citizens, braving freezing temperatures, chanted slogans demanding the president's resignation. The martial law announcement, the first in over four decades, was abruptly reversed hours later amid mounting backlash and a parliamentary vote blocking the move. Opposition parties have since submitted a motion to impeach President Yoon, who accused his critics of being โ€œanti-state forces.โ€ #SeoulProtests #MartialLawCrisis #PresidentYoon #SouthKoreaUnrest #TanksInSeoul #ProtestsInSouthKorea #YoonMartialLaw #DemocracyAtRisk #ParliamentProtests #YoonImpeachment #KoreaPoliticalCrisis #SeoulStandoff #MilitaryOnStreets #CandlelightProtests #PoliticalShowdown Also Read South Korea's Martial Law Drama: Was The First Lady A Key Influence? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/south-koreas-martial-law-drama-was-the-first-lady-a-key-influence-4006077.html South Korea's Martial Law Crisis: A Shocking Decree And A Swift Reversal :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/south-koreas-martial-law-crisis-a-shocking-decree-and-a-swift-reversal-4005885.html South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol Announces Lifting of Martial Law Following Parliamentary Rejection :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/south-korean-president-lifts-martial-law-after-parliament-vote-011-4005671.html
