SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea media reported on South Korea's Constitutional Court ruling to oust the country's impeached president, Yoon Suk-Yeol, state media KCNA said on Saturday.

South Korea's Constitutional Court ousted the impeached president on Friday over his shock martial law attempt in December.

KCNA noted that all eight judges of South Korea's Constitutional Court voted to remove Yoon from the office, and also said that major foreign media urgently reported on the ruling.

Yoon took a hard line on North Korea and was often the subject of criticism from Pyongyang. During his short presidency, North Korea changed its decades-long policy of unification with the South and changed its constitution to designate it the "principal enemy".
