North Korea Warns of Disaster as South Korea Faces Martial Law and Impeachment Turmoil

wikitree Views  

North Korean media outlets have reportedly resumed their criticism of South Korea. This marks the first coverage of the December 3 declaration, the subsequent lifting of emergency martial law, and the impeachment crisis in South Korea. It signifies North Korea’s return to anti-South rhetoric after a seven-day hiatus, following its criticism of President Yoon Suk Yeol in the Rodong Sinmun on December 4.

On Wednesday, Yonhap News reported a statement from the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), which declared, “A shocking incident has plunged puppet South Korea into chaos. The Yoon Suk Yeol regime, facing a severe governance and impeachment crisis, recklessly declared martial law and turned fascist weapons against its own people.”

The KCNA further claimed that fully armed martial law troops, including helicopters and special forces units, were deployed to blockade the National Assembly and confirmed military involvement in enforcing the martial law measures.

In addition, the report highlighted candlelight vigils and protests in Seoul following the dismissal of Yoon’s impeachment motion on December 7. Rally speakers were quoted as saying, “Yoon Suk Yeol’s very existence is a war and a disaster,” while calling for his immediate impeachment and punishment.

The article concluded by noting that the international community is closely monitoring the situation of martial law and the turmoil surrounding impeachment in South Korea. It condemned the crisis as evidence of the vulnerabilities within Korean society, describing Yoon’s sudden declaration of martial law as desperation. Many predict this could lead to the premature end of his political career.

The article also appeared in the Rodong Sinmun, accessible to North Korean citizens. The newspaper included photos of the candlelight vigil in front of the National Assembly alongside the report.

Although North Korean media had consistently reported on “anti-Yoon gatherings” since mid-November, they ceased coverage of South Korea’s martial law declaration and anti-government protests after December 5.
