South Korea's Yoon defies second summons over martial law decree

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has defied a second summons by the opposition-led parliament to testify regarding a military document that suggested imposing martial law during a potential crisis. The document, which surfaced in 1988, was allegedly drafted when Yoon was a young prosecutor.

Meanwhile, the ruling People Power Party has dismissed the allegations as baseless, intensifying the political standoff.
