South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been detained after a massive law enforcement operation at the presidential compound that ended a weeks-long stand-off between his bodyguards and the country’s anti-corruption agency.

Authorities in South Korea arrested impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol on Wednesday from the presidential compound. The detention was nothing short of dramatic — officials had to cut barbed wire, scale walls and fight off supporters.

Yoon Suk Yeol has become the first sitting president in South Korean history to be arrested by law enforcement agents, after his compound was finally breached on Wednesday by officials investigating his failed attempt to impose martial law.
