SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol shocked the nation in declaring martial law and calling in troops to secure the National Assembly building. His announcement also sent citizens streaming to the streets on a cold December night to call for Yoon to resign and martial law to be lifted. The subsequent hours Tuesday night into Wednesday morning were tense, with cameras capturing the moments of anger, bravery and defiance. Lawmakers streamed toward the National Assembly as soon as they learned of Yoon’s move, hoping that enough of them could get inside the security cordon to establish a quorum and hold a vote.
