South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol faces a new and potentially more robust attempt to arrest him on insurrection charges after a top investigator vowed to do whatever it takes to break a security blockade and take in the impeached leader.

A South Korean court has reissued an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol. He faces impeachment over an alleged coup attempt involving the declaration of martial law in the country, reports Reuters.

South Korean authorities have granted a request to extend a warrant to detain the country’s suspended President Yoon Suk Yeol for questioning over his surprise declaration of martial law last month.
