In South Korea, former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun attempted suicide in prison.
This was reported in Yonhap.
After an unsuccessful attempt, Kim is in a protective chamber. His health condition remains stable.
This happened on Tuesday evening shortly before a court in Seoul officially arrested the ex-minister on charges of involvement in organizing the rebellion.
Let us recall that on December 4, Kim Yong Hyun apologized to citizens for the introduction of martial law and resigned.
A high-ranking military man was accused of treason for his role in the declaration and subsequent lifting of martial law.
South Korean President Yoon Seok-yol declared martial law in the country on December 3. Parliament blocked this decision, after which the president was forced to abolish it. After this, the head of the Ministry of Defense resigned, and an investigation began.
The president himself is also involved in the case and is prohibited from leaving the country. Police raided his residence on Wednesday, Yonhap reported.
