A South Korean court issued an arrest warrant for embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol, who has been suspended from power over his short-lived martial law declaration, according to investigators.
The Seoul Western District Court approved the warrant on Tuesday, a day after the investigation team requested it as Yoon has repeatedly refused to appear for questioning. He is under criminal probe for insurrection allegations.
