South Korea's opposition parties on Wednesday submitted a motion to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol, hours after he ended a short-lived martial law that prompted troops to encircle parliament before politicians voted to lift it.Impeaching Mr Yoon would require the support of two-thirds of parliament for the motion and then the backing of at least six Constitutional Court justices.
