"South Korea’s president, Yoon Suk Yeol, on Tuesday declared martial law,
blasting the opposition as “anti-state forces” threatening the country’s
democracy.

The unexpected move from Yoon, marking the first time martial law has been
declared in South Korea in more than four decades, alarmed the US and other
allies.

Six hours later he backed down, lifting the order in the face of united
opposition.

What do we know about the imposition of martial law, and what might come next?"
