South Korean parliament impeaches President Yoon

"The South Korean parliament has voted to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his brief imposition of martial law last week.
The National Assembly voted 204 to 85 in support of the measure on Saturday, above the required threshold of 200.
All 300 members of the legislature were in attendance for the secret ballot, but three abstained, and eight ballots were declared invalid.
The decision by the National Assembly means that Yoon is automatically suspended from office. The South Korean Constitutional Court now has 180 days to rule on the president’s removal from the post." RT
