South Korea Faces Unrest as Martial Law Sparks Political Turmoil
North Korea reacts to South Korea's political unrest, criticizing President Yoon and raising concerns over inter-Korean relations.

The North, however, refrained from discussing possible ramifications for inter-Korean relations. Acknowledging the failed impeachment attempt against Yoon by opposition lawmakers, North Korean outlets described the entirety of South Korea as embroiled in protests. Concerns have arisen regarding whether the South's government and military are adequately prepared for any escalation in tensions with the North, led by Kim Jong-un. The longstanding conflict between the two Koreas remains exacerbated under President Yoon's confrontational policies.
