South Korean Authorities Attempt To Arrest President Yoon Over Martial Law Declaration

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.
