South Korea’s Constitutional Court has upheld the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol over his failed attempt to impose martial law, officially removing him from office.

Axar.az, citing NBC, reports that the ruling, delivered unanimously by eight judges, sets the stage for a presidential election within 60 days.

Yoon's actions, including deploying troops to parliament and making unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, were deemed unconstitutional.

His impeachment has deepened political polarization in South Korea, with conservative supporters seeing him as a victim of injustice, while others view the ruling as a victory for democracy and the rule of law. The decision comes amid challenges such as U.S. tariffs and North Korea-Russia military ties, leaving the acting president to navigate ongoing crises.
