South Korea’s president Yoon Suk Yeol has finally been arrested and taken in for questioning, ending a stand-off lasting more than a month after his martial law declaration threw the country into a political crisis.
Anti-corruption authorities launched a pre-dawn operation on Wednesday at around 4.30 am to arrest Mr Yoon, which finally saw him taken into custody. A similar attempt ended in failure earlier this month despite law enforcement agents trying to reach Mr Yoon for nearly six hours.
