South Korea News: South Korean authorities have arrested impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol in their second attempt to detain him. Yoon was holed up for weeks while being investigated on insurrection charges after an attempt to impose martial law in December.
A court had granted an extension to a previous warrant, following a failed arrest attempt earlier this month.
Investigators had to use ladders to enter his residence compound in after clashes broke out when his guards blocked the main gate, news agency Reuters reported. The main road in front of Yoon’s residence was completely blocked off with police bus barricades early Wednesday.
Kim Sung-hoon, the acting chief of the Presidential Security Service, was also arrested for blocking their initial attempt to arrest Yoon Suk Yeol.
