South Korean ruling party to fight Yoon impeachment, defence minister replaced

SEOUL (Reuters) -South Korean opposition lawmakers said on Thursday they would vote this weekend to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over his botched attempt to impose martial law, while the defence minister blamed for advising the move resigned. Yoon's declaration of martial law late on Tuesday sought to consolidate power, ban political activity and censor the media in Asia's fourth-largest economy and a key U.S. ally. It sparked outrage in the streets and concern among South Korea's international allies.
