South Korea indicts ex-PM over abetting martial law, former first lady for corruption

South Korea indicted former Prime Minister Han Duck-soo for supporting ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed martial law declaration and former First Lady Kim Keon Hee for corruption and bribery. Han faces charges including insurrection and perjury, while Kim is accused of stock manipulation, receiving illegal gifts, and accepting bribes. These indictments follow President Lee Jae Myung's approval of investigations into Yoon's actions and his administration, leading to raids on a church and a US-South Korean air base. US President Trump initially expressed concern, later suggesting a misunderstanding.
