Today, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law, citing threats from alleged "anti-state forces" within the country. The measures include restrictions on press freedoms, bans on protests, and the suspension of civilian court powers. Additionally, the National Assembly has been blocked from functioning, heightening political tensions.
The declaration follows weeks of escalating conflict between the president and opposition parties, who dominate the legislature.

The international community, including the U.S., is monitoring the situation closely, while opposition leaders are calling for the immediate reversal of the decree
