🇰🇷 Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol sentenced to additional 30 years in prison
Yoon Suk Yeol has been given another 30-year prison sentence for secretly ordering the launch of drones into North Korean airspace in autumn 2024.
According to investigators, the goal was to provoke a military response from Pyongyang and use the resulting border crisis as a pretext to declare martial law in South Korea.
This sentence is added to the life imprisonment he already received earlier this year for treason and an attempted coup.
Key accomplices were also sentenced:
– Former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun: 30 years in prison
– Former military counterintelligence chief Yeo In-hyun: 15 years in prison
– Former UAV command chief Kim Yong-dae: 3 years probation— Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) Jun 12, 2026

A Syrian source close to the Damascus government says Turkey has recently advised Ahmad al-Sharaa against being drawn into a confrontation with Hezbollah inside Lebanon. Ankara’s calculation is that Hezbollah’s complete destruction would strengthen Israel – an outcome it considers undesirable.
Working against Turkey’s efforts, Trump said this week that al-Sharaa wants to assist in the fight against Hezbollah. Al-Sharaa is expected in Washington next week, where Trump may try to enlist him on the Hezbollah issue despite Turkish objections.
