South Korea's opposition parties on Wednesday submitted a motion to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol over the shocking imposition of martial law which was lifted by the lawmakers within hours.

But before the short-lived martial law was lifted, there was much commotion with heavily armed troops encircling the parliament. In a dramatic anti-climax, lawmakers climbed walls to re-enter the building and unanimously voted to lift the order.

Impeaching Yoon would require the support of two-thirds of parliament, and at least six justices of the nine-member Constitutional Court would have to endorse it.
