Martial Law Declared in South Korea
Yoon supporters storm Seoul court after his detainment period is extended
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been arrested on suspicion of declaring martial law, a move that could result in his imprisonment. The decision to arrest Yoon was made after a week-long standoff between investigators and his security team. A judge has issued a warrant allowing investigators to hold Yoon in custody for up to 20 days. Yoon's supporters have reacted violently to his detention, with some throwing objects and using fire extinguishers. The arrest has triggered unrest at the Seoul Western District Court, with at least two vehicles carrying anti-corruption investigators being damaged. Yoon himself appeared before a judge, arguing for his release.
