Iran Press/Europe:Following the declaration of martial law by the South Korean president, tensions have peaked as parliament members demand his impeachment.
In an unexpected late-night address broadcast live on YTN television, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol announced the declaration of martial law on Tuesday, December 3rd.
Yoon stated that he had to take this action to uphold a free and constitutional order, citing the opposition parties' manipulation of the parliamentary process as a means to create the crisis.
The spokesman of the British Prime Minister's Office stated on Tuesday night that the situation in South Korea is changing rapidly, and the British government is closely monitoring it.
He urged British citizens in South Korea to regularly check the website of the UK Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the latest recommendations. He advised them to avoid areas where political gatherings may occur and to consider their travel insurance options.
