The British government says it is closely monitoring the situation in South Korea, where President Yoon Suk Yeol declared emergency martial law in an emergency statement.

A spokesman for the British prime minister's office said, urging all citizens to pay attention to whether the government's recommendations regarding travel to South Korea change.

European Union and EU spokespeople also said they are closely monitoring the situation in South Korea.

British media, including the BBC and the Daily Telegraph, report in detail the declaration of martial law along with the screen of President Yoon's statement in real-time about the situation around the National Assembly and the reactions of the ruling and opposition parties.
