Summary
Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol just got sentenced to 30 years in prison after being found guilty of sending drones into North Korea — a move prosecutors say was a calculated provocation to justify his failed martial law bid. The court ruled he used military action as a cover to trigger a state of emergency, escalating tensions with Pyongyang. While Yoon’s defense blamed North Korea’s balloon attacks, the judge called it a deliberate escalation. His attempt to declare martial law in December sparked nationwide protests, led to his impeachment, and ultimately reshaped South Korea’s politics — paving the way for opposition leader Lee Jae-myung’s landslide election win.
