S.Korea commander says he will refuse to implement any new martial law order, say media reports

SEOUL (Reuters) – South Korea’s special warfare commander said he will refuse to implement any new order for martial law, media reports quoted him as saying.

Kwak Jong-geun, the special warfare commander, also said the then defense minister had issued an order to “drag out lawmakers” who came to parliament to vote to lift the martial law declared by President Yoon Suk Yeol earlier this week.
