The National Assembly says at least 280 armed martial law troops infiltrated the compound and attempted to storm the Capitol shortly after Yoon Suk Yeol's president declared emergency martial law.

The released CCTV showed soldiers wielding rifles to break down office windows.

Helicopters carrying armed troops descend one after another on the National Assembly lawn soccer field.

It's a martial law force with a rifle.

He immediately tries to enter the main office where the plenary session is located, but when the front door is blocked by the furniture piled up by the officials on duty, he swings his firearm and breaks down the office window.

The office of the ruling party, the People's Power leadership, also suffered damage.

In order to prevent the soldiers from breaking through the cracks of the broken windows, the aides raked in all kinds of appliances and built a barrier.

The National Assembly said that at least 280 martial law troops were mobilized in this way.

It carried 230 people, but only the helicopter flew 24 times, and the remaining 50 people crossed the outer fence.

The police closed the door outside the National Assembly and blocked lawmakers from entering the country, an hour before the military was deployed.

The same was true of the National Assembly Security Service, a member of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency whose mission is to protect the National Assembly.

As a result, not a few lawmakers, including National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, went over the wall to vote on a resolution to lift martial law.

The National Assembly plans to ban the police, including the Ministry of National Defense, soldiers, and National Assembly guards, from entering the building to protect the safety and legislative activities of lawmakers.
