South Korean prosecutors have indicted the recently impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol for his controversial imposition of martial law, as reported by various news outlets.

The indictment stems from Yoon's December 3 declaration, a move that ignited political chaos and division within the country. The Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office's latest action has deepened the crisis.

President Yoon maintains his innocence, arguing that the martial law was aimed at bringing attention to obstructions by the liberal-controlled National Assembly. His fate now lies with the Constitutional Court as South Korea watches closely.
