South Korea's interim president ousted

The move could deepen a constitutional crisis in the Asian country that began with a brief period of martial law declared by ousted president Yoon Seok-yeol.

The government's opposition is suing Han for refusing to immediately fill three seats on the Constitutional Court, where the former president is on trial.

192 out of 300 lawmakers reportedly voted to impeach Han. After the vote, Han Deok-soo said he would respect the decision and await the Constitutional Court's ruling on the impeachment motion.

Finance Minister Choi Sang-mook is said to be taking over as acting president.
