Caption: South Korea Indicts Ex-President Yoon on New Charges Over Martial Law Plot. South Korea's special prosecutor has filed new charges against former President Yoon Suk Yeol, accusing him of abusing power and aiding an enemy state over his brief declaration of martial law last year. Investigators say Yoon tried to provoke a military clash with North Korea to justify imposing martial law. Evidence from a senior officer's phone reportedly mentioned "drones" and "surgical strike," suggesting possible plans to trigger tensions. Prosecutors allege Yoon, along with former defense minister Kim Yong-hyun and ex-intelligence chief Yeo In-hyung, plotted to induce a North Korean response through a covert drone mission. North Korea later claimed the South had sent drones carrying propaganda leaflets over Pyongyang. All three have been indicted on additional charges, though Yoon and Kim deny any intent to harm national interests. Yeo has expressed regret for not opposing the order.
