Former defense secretary Kim Yong-hyun, who was detained on Tuesday, has been accused by criticism politicians of ordering strikes on locations where North Korea was launching garbage balloons. His subordinates officially objected to his reprimand.
He reportedly also reportedly ordered drones to be flown to Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, to allegedly try to stoke a fight as a pretext for enforcing martial law.
Given that this conflict in the South involves what is regarded as an immoral revolution,” North Korea appears to have maintained a fairly quiet attitude so much,” said Yang Moo-jin, president of the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul.
He told AFP that North Korea might be cautious about how this might impact its military, especially since many of its troops are already stationed in Russia.
Yoon fought through a parliament prosecution action on Saturday, as tens of thousands of South Koreans fought the freezing conditions outside to desire his resignation.
The opposition intends to put a second movement to the floor to vote on on Saturday.
