South Korea's president, describing opposition as 'anti-state forces', declares martial law
Briefly

"To safeguard a liberal South Korea from the threats posed by North Korea's communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements...I hereby declare emergency martial law."
"With no regard for the livelihoods of the people, the opposition party has paralysed governance solely for the sake of impeachments, special investigations, and shielding their leader from justice."
"Our National Assembly has become a haven for criminals, a den of legislative dictatorship that seeks to paralyse the judicial and administrative systems and overturn our liberal democratic order."
"I will restore the country to normalcy by getting rid of anti-state forces as soon as possible."
