A night of turmoil in South Korea has taken another dramatic twist with the suspension of martial law.

The country’s president imposed the drastic order earlier today after accusing the country’s opposition of sympathising with North Korea.

Troops surrounded the parliament in Seoul as politicians tried to block the move.

Several hours later, martial law was lifted by the president.
