Claim: The visuals show protests by citizens in response to the imposition of martial law, and convoys of tanks and helicopters spotted across the capital city Seoul of South Korea.
Fact-check: Old & unrelated photos and videos are falsely linked to protests against the announcement of martial law in South Korea - FACTLY
Verdict: the viral photos are unrelated to protests against the announcement of martial law in south korea. one photo shows a military training exercise conducted by the 1st security brigade on 25 january 2024. another photo, featured in a social media post dated 23 november 2024, shows a separate protest demanding yoon seok-yeol's resignation. both visuals predate the announcement of martial law on 03 december 2024. additionally, the viral video is a simulation and doesn't show a real event. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
