South Korean investigators visited the official residence of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday to execute an arrest warrant linked to insurrection charges over his December 3 martial law declaration, according to Yonhap News.
This follows an earlier attempt on January 3, which was thwarted by a standoff involving hundreds of presidential security agents and military guards. The arrest warrant marks the first ever issued against a sitting South Korean president.
The investigation into Yoon’s actions continues amidst heightened political tensions, with authorities determined to move forward despite resistance from presidential security forces.
