South Korean investigators attempted to arrest President Yoon Suk Yeol on insurrection charges but faced significant resistance from military and presidential security, leading to a standoff.
The investigators described the situation as "virtually impossible" to execute the arrest warrant due to ongoing standoff conditions, ultimately calling off their attempt for safety reasons.
Yoon Suk Yeol's lawyer contested the legality of the arrest warrant, claiming it was "illegal and invalid," and promised that they would pursue further legal actions against the attempt.
The arrival of investigators drew hundreds of Yoon's supporters to his residence, who blockaded access while protesting against the arrest efforts in front of the presidential compound.
