In Seoul, at least seven senior generals were detained by forces under Maj. Gen. Chon Too-hwan, with two wounded, following the arrest of Martial Law Commander Chung Seung-hun after a gunfight at his residence.

Prime Minister Joe Clark’s Progressive Conservative government was defeated in a no confidence vote prompting plans to dissolve Parliament.
