North Korea has condemned South Korea as a 'fascist dictatorship' following President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed attempt to impose martial law. The North Korean regime broke its week-long silence on the issue through its state-run news outlet, criticizing Yoon's actions as reminiscent of a coup during a military dictatorship.
The news outlet stated that Yoon's declaration of martial law was an 'insane act' in response to a governance crisis and impeachment threats he was facing. The move was met with strong condemnation from various sectors, including the opposition party, and further fueled public demands for Yoon's impeachment.
