SEOUL: Prosecutors raided the military's Capital Defense Command as part of their investigation into the recent failed martial law attempt, officials confirmed. The operation is part of a broader inquiry into the events of last week that saw a controversial deployment of military forces.According to Yonhap News Agency, the special prosecution team assigned to the martial law case executed the search to confiscate materials relevant to the investigation. This is a significant step in understanding the circumstances surrounding the martial law order and its subsequent failure.Soldiers from the Capital Defense Command were sent to the National Assembly on December 3, when martial law was implemented. Their deployment aimed to prevent lawmakers from entering the parliament, which was viewed as an effort to prevent any legislative action that could overturn the martial law order. The move has since sparked widespread scrutiny and legal inquiries into the motivations and legality of the military's actions.
