South Korea's president Yoon Suk Yeol accepted the resignation of defence minister Kim Yong Hyun, who allegedly advised him to declare martial law. This resignation follows a political crisis after Yoon's brief imposition of martial law. Choi Byung-hyuk, the ambassador to Saudi Arabia, has been named as the new defence minister. Yoon's political future is uncertain as opposition parties have submitted a motion to impeach him.
