North Korean media accused South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol of running a "fascist dictatorship" after last week's short-lived imposition of martial law.

North Korea's state-run media called its southern neighbor a "fascistic dictatorship" and said its president declared martial law to escape a crisis.

In its first coverage of last week’s short-lived martial law order, North Korean state media focused on protests calling for the ouster of President Yoon Suk Yeol.
