Yoon's impeachment sparks worries over military readiness

President Yoon Suk Yeol's Parliamentary impeachment on Saturday sparked concerns over the readiness of the military against North Korean threats as it now faces an unprecedented gap in its top leadership.

Earlier in the day, an impeachment motion against Yoon over his failed December 3 declaration of martial law passed at the National Assembly, suspending his presidential powers, including his control over the military as the commander-in-chief.

Yoon's powers will be handed over to the acting president -- Prime Minister Han Duck-soo -- in a first since 2016 when then President Park Geun-hye was impeached.
