In a dramatic turn of events, South Korea's Constitutional Court has ousted President Yoon Suk-Yeol following his attempt to impose martial law in December. North Korea's state-run media, KCNA, swiftly reported the ruling, underscoring the significance of the unanimous decision by South Korea's eight-judge panel.

The court's ruling has drawn widespread attention from major international media outlets, highlighting the gravity of the political upheaval. Yoon's hardline stance on North Korea made him a frequent target of criticism from Pyongyang during his short-lived presidency.

Under Yoon's leadership, North Korea shifted its longstanding policy of pursuing unification with the South. It went further to amend its constitution, labeling the South as its 'principal enemy', signaling intensified tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
