Yoon Suk Yeol Defies Arrest Warrant in South Korea

News summary

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol faced a tense six-hour standoff with investigators from the anti-corruption agency attempting to execute an arrest warrant related to his controversial martial law declaration. The agency withdrew after being blocked by Yoon's presidential security forces, citing safety concerns for their personnel. Yoon, who has defied multiple attempts to question him, has vowed to 'fight to the end' against what he calls 'anti-state forces'. His legal team warned that any police attempt to detain him could lead to confrontations, even suggesting that officers might face arrest by his security personnel. The political crisis has escalated in South Korea, with several high-ranking officials already facing legal repercussions linked to Yoon's actions. The situation remains volatile as Yoon's supporters rally outside his residence, further complicating the enforcement of the arrest warrant.
