South Korean investigators are seeking to arrest President Yoon Suk Yeol on insurrection and abuse of power charges.

South Korean authorities asked a court to authorize a warrant for the arrest of suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol on insurrection allegations following a short-lived bid to impose martial law at the start of the month.

South Korea's opposition-controlled National Assembly voted to impeach acting President Han Duck-soo, further deepening the country's political crisis.
