SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea's state-controlled media has called President Yoon Suk Yeol of its neighbour South Korea a "fascist dictator" and a "warmonger" a day before elections that will determine the makeup of parliament, currently dominated by Yoon's opponents.

Reports carried by North Korea's official KCNA news agency described the South as being "engulfed" in protests, adding that "popular resistance to impeach puppet Yoon Suk Yeol is growing by the day."
