Standoff Over Arrest Warrant for South Korean Impeached President

South Korean investigators have requested the acting president to enforce the arrest warrant for impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol. The request follows a standoff involving the presidential security service and military troops. Yoon faces charges for declaring martial law previously, leading to an unprecedented warrant.

In a heated political climate, South Korean investigators have made a renewed plea to the acting president to enforce an arrest warrant against the impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol. This request follows an intense six-hour standoff involving Yoon's security detail and military troops on Friday.

The Corruption Investigation Office for High-Ranking Officials secured the warrant after Yoon's contentious declaration of martial law last month. This unprecedented act had shocked the nation, marking the first time a sitting president faced an arrest warrant.

Acting President Choi Sang-mok, who also serves as the nation's finance minister, has been urged to ensure compliance. However, a spokesperson from the finance ministry declined to provide any comment on the situation, as tensions remain high in South Korea's political sphere.
