North Korean state media KCNA reported for the first time on South Korea's ongoing political turmoil since President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law attempt.

Iran Press/Asia: Last week's shocking martial law order triggered concerns about a power vacuum and plunged Asia's fourth-largest economy and a key U.S. ally into a constitutional crisis, sending shockwaves through diplomatic and economic fronts.

After a week-long silence, KCNA published an article on what it described as growing "social unrest" in the South due to the martial law crisis.

The dispatch did not offer much commentary but largely carried South Korean and international media reports, focusing on a series of protests joined by more than a million people calling for Yoon's impeachment.

"The puppet Yoon Suk Yeol, who had already faced a serious crisis of governance and impeachment, declared martial law unexpectedly and unleashed the guns of the fascist dictatorship on the people," KCNA said.
