In its first coverage of last week’s short-lived martial law order, North Korean state media focused on protests calling for the ouster of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un denounced South Korea as a 'fascist dictatorship' following President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed attempt to impose martial law.

Yoon told South Koreans martial law was necessary to "safeguard a liberal South Korea from the threats posed by North Korea's communist forces and to eliminate anti-state elements," taking aim at the Democratic Party, his liberal opposition.
