Colonel-level commanders were called to be on guard for an imminent provocation by North Korea on Dec 1, two days before the martial law declaration, according to Major-General Lee Kyung-min.

Speaking before the National Assembly on Dec 10, he said suspended defence counter-intelligence commander Yeo In-hyung cited a "serious North Korean filth balloon situation" in ordering them to be on alert for further directions.
