South Korean prosecutors seek 30-year term for Yoon

South Korean prosecutors seek 30-year term for Yoon

The request follows Yoon's earlier life sentence for rebellion, which is currently under appeal.

Prosecutors argue that the drone infiltration over Pyongyang was a dangerous abuse of power that risked sparking a full-scale conflict with the North.

Yoon has denied the charges, maintaining that the operation was necessary for national security.

The case continues to deeply divide the country as the legal proceedings move through the high courts.
