A senior South Korean military commander has testified in court that he was asked how to cut electricity to parliament during last year’s failed martial law attempt by impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol.

With the passing of “engagement,” the mood had darkened considerably in Seoul, mirroring a new, bellicose swagger evident around the world among the leading democracies. Confrontation with increasing arms races, demonstrations of strength, and allied summitry were the order of the day.

A top South Korean military commander said on Tuesday he trusted President Yoon Suk Yeol to be making a legitimate decision when he declared martial law, but declined to say if the impeached leader gave orders to "drag" lawmakers out of parliament.

Prosecutors indicted detained South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Sunday on charges of leading an insurrection with his short-lived imposition of martial law last month.

South Korea's impeached prime minister told parliament on Thursday that "everyone" in a hastily arranged meeting of ministers expressed concerns about President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law plan before he announced it on Dec.

Yonhap news agency says South Korean prosecutors have indicted the impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his imposition of martial law.

The commander of a crack South Korean special forces unit told a court Thursday he had been asked by a superior officer how to cut electricity to parliament during last year's failed martial law order by impeached president Yook Suk Yeol.
