Wednesday, 11 December 2024 () South Korea's former defence minister has tried to take his own life while being held in detention over his role in the failed imposition of martial law, officials have said.
South Korea's opposition leader, Lee Jae-myung, will push for another impeachment vote against President Yoon Suk-yeol. Protests grow as critics denounce Yoon's martial law declaration.
