Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol tried to provoke North Korea into mounting a military aggression to create justification for the December 2024 martial law declaration and to eliminate political opponents, a special prosecutor said on Monday.

The special prosecutor, Cho Eun-seok, told a briefing his team had indicted 24 people, including Yoon and five cabinet members, for their alleged involvement during his six-month investigation on insurrection charges.
