It is just after 2am local time in Seoul and CNN is reporting troops are beginning to withdraw from the main parliamentary building, following a unanimous vote by lawmakers in South Korea to block the president’s martial law decree.
 
Soldiers entered the building not long after the president’s declaration of martial law on Tuesday.
 
The speaker of the National Assembly also reportedly just stated that South Korean troops are leaving the parliament building, according to the BBC, which cited the Yonhap news agency.
 
The local Korean newspaper, Chosun Ilbo, is also reporting that some forces are still waiting within the National Assembly grounds, although some appear to have set down their gear, according to CNN
