Seoul: Citizens gathering outside the National Assembly erupted in applause and cheers Wednesday as parliament voted to end martial law that President Yoon Suk Yeol declared in a surprise address just hours earlier. After parliament voted in favor of a motion demanding the lifting of martial law at around 1 a.m., citizens that were confronting the military and the police at the main gate of the National Assembly burst into cheers and roared in celebration. According to Yonhap News Agency, martial law troops still remain inside the National Assembly, while some military vehicles were also seen nearby. Yoon's surprise declaration of martial law late Tuesday also caused confusion among some citizens, prompting them to scurry back home.
