THE country’s military placed a substantially larger purchase of body bags than normal around the time when now-suspended President Yoon Suk-yeol declared martial law on Dec 3 last year, a local media outlet and a lawmaker said, fuelling suspicions on whether the military anticipated a large number of potential deaths.
MBC reported on Tuesday that the army had 4,940 body bags in December, quoting data from Rep Choo Mi-ae of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea.
