North Korea reports on Yoon Suk-yeol’s impeachment, highlights turmoil in South

Rodong Sinmun's report came 19 hours after verdict, slower than state media coverage of Park Geun-hye's ouster in 2017

North Korea has reported on the removal of South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol less than a day after the Constitutional Court’s ruling, largely following its recent approach of factually reporting the events surrounding the fallout of the political “chaos” in its southern neighbor in recent months. 

The cabinet-run newspaper Rodong Sinmun reported on Saturday that the court’s eight-judge panel unanimously voted to uphold Yoon’s impeachment and confirm his immediate dismissal from the presidency.
