Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol Faces Arrest

News summary

South Korean authorities are attempting to execute an unprecedented arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, who faces criminal investigation for insurrection following his short-lived martial law declaration on December 3. The operation has led to a significant standoff at Yoon's residence, with police and anti-corruption investigators confronted by his security detail and a growing crowd of supporters. Despite the legal proceedings, Yoon has vowed to 'fight to the end' and described the warrant as 'invalid.' The situation escalated with over 3,000 police mobilized to enforce the warrant, marking a historic moment as no sitting South Korean president has ever been arrested. Yoon's martial law decree was swiftly withdrawn under public pressure, but he continues to assert his position amidst the turmoil. Authorities are prepared to make further attempts to detain him if necessary, as the political climate remains tense.
