South Korean Parliament Overturns President's Martial Law Declaration Amid Protests

South Korea's national assembly has voted to block President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law, intensifying the power struggle between the government and the opposition-controlled parliament. Yoon, a former chief prosecutor, accused the left-wing bloc of North Korean sympathies and plotting rebellion, leading to his controversial move. The martial law declaration, which restricts political activities and media, was met with criticism and fears of authoritarianism. The situation has affected South Korea's currency and stock market, and could strain relations with the US.
