    The South Korean military closed the parliament building and banned all political activities in the implementation of President Yoon Suk-Yeol's orders.

    The Yonhap news agency cited the military as saying activities by parliament and political parties would be banned, and that media and publishers would be under the control of the martial law command.

    Earlier, South Korea’s president, Yoon Suk Yeol, declared martial law in an unannounced late-night televised address, claiming he would eradicate “shameless pro-North Korean anti-state forces”.
