It was recently reported that South Korean Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun has submitted his resignation.
But before that, he apologized to citizens for the fact that martial law was declared in the country.
Let us recall that the parliament unanimously voted to cancel it, and the country’s president agreed with the decision, since he had no other choice (according to local laws).
The news about the dismissal of the head of the South Korean Ministry of Defense came from the Yonhap agency, TASS reports .
It was reported that earlier the opposition Democratic Party submitted a document to parliament demanding the impeachment of the president, the head of the defense department and the minister of internal affairs and security.
According to media reports, it was Kim Yong Hyun who advised the head of state to introduce martial law.
The opposition believes that the above-mentioned individuals were attempting to organize a coup d'état.
