Generals Punished Over Martial Law File Sue Defense Ministry

Generals Punished Over Martial Law File Sue Defense Ministry

Top generals, including former defense intelligence commander Moon Sang-ho and drone operations commander Kim Yong-dae, have filed lawsuits against the South Korean Defense Ministry following disciplinary actions related to their alleged roles in the 2024 martial law attempt. The ministry reported that over 180 military personnel were implicated in the incident, with several facing severe penalties. Among those disciplined, only Kwak Jong-keun, former commander of the Army Special Warfare Command, accepted his dismissal without further legal action. This development follows an internal probe into the events surrounding former President Yoon Suk Yeol's declaration of martial law.
