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

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