South Korea’s main liberal opposition party said it will seek to impeach acting leader Han Duck-soo, as Seoul grapples with the turmoil set off when impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol made a short-lived declaration of martial law.

The country’s political parties are now tussling over how to run investigations into that decision, as well as separate allegations against Mr Yoon’s wife.
