South Korean prosecutors accuse suspended President Yoon of planning to use force to impose martial law.

South Korean prosecutors claim that suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol authorized the military to use weapons if needed to enter parliament during his failed attempt to impose martial law. Yoon vowed to declare martial law three times if necessary, according to a 10-page indictment summary. Yoon's lawyer dismissed the report as one-sided and not based on objective circumstances. Yoon was stripped of his duties and is under investigation for his attempt to scrap civilian rule, leading to political turmoil and his impeachment.
