The head of South Korea's main opposition party, Lee Jae-myung, was stabbed in the neck on Tuesday, officials said. Lee was attacked by an unidentified assailant while touring the site of a proposed airport in Busan. "He is conscious and receiving treatment at the hospital," an official from Lee's Democratic Party told Reuters. The party called the attack "an act of terror" that poses a threat to democracy in South Korea. Party spokesperson Kwon Chil-seung said Lee's jugular vein was believed to have been damaged and there was concern over the large amount of bleeding. President Yoon Suk Yeol ordered a speedy investigation and offered his support to Lee, the president's office said in a statement.
