Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Authorities in South Korea have requested an arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, investigating his short-lived martial law declaration as potential insurrection. Yoon, who has evaded multiple summons for questioning, faces serious charges including abuse of authority. His impeachment has plunged the nation into a political crisis, and a Constitutional Court decision on his removal or reinstatement is pending. The investigation team insists that Yoon violated laws during the martial law, which triggered military intervention in the National Assembly. The court will decide on the warrant request shortly.
