Summary

An attempt to arrest suspended South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol failed after a six-hour standoff involving 150 police officers, pro-Yoon supporters, and his security team.

Yoon, under investigation for abusing power and declaring martial law in December, refused to cooperate with legal summonses.

Prosecutors face logistical challenges as Yoon's supporters gather in large numbers, with the current warrant expiring on January 6.

The political turmoil follows Yoon's impeachment, his acting president's ousting, and charges against military leaders involved in the martial law attempt.
