(UPDATE) SEOUL — South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Thursday swore to fight 'until the very last minute' in a defiant address defending his surprise decision last week to declare martial law and deploy troops to the country's parliament.

The South Korean leader is banned from foreign travel as part of an 'insurrection' probe into his inner circle over the dramatic events of Dec. 3-4 that stunned South Korea's allies.
