Ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol Sentenced to 30 Years Over North Korea Drone Ops
A Seoul court sentenced former President Yoon Suk Yeol to 30 years in prison for directing military drone flights into North Korea, a move prosecutors say was aimed at creating wartime conditions to justify a 2024 martial-law declaration. Yoon denies ordering the operation, which comes amid ongoing legal battles following a life sentence for insurrection tied to the martial-law bid; he can appeal from custody.
