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.

A South Korean court issued warrants Tuesday to detain impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol and search his office and residence over his short-lived declaration of martial law.

Impeached South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, in a message to conservative supporters, vowed to 'fight to the end' against 'anti-state forces.'
