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.

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

Amid economic fragility, public unrest is growing, with citizens split between calls for impeachment and support for Yoon’s presidency.
