South Korea’s suspended president Yoon Suk Yeol remains defiant in his newly-fortified residence, as investigators seek to extend the arrest warrant over his short-lived martial law order.

The current warrant – which was due to expire at midnight local time (15:00 GMT) – was issued after Yoon ignored multiple summonses to appear for questioning on insurrection and abuse of power charges.

Anti-corruption investigators tried to carry out the arrest on Friday – only to call it off after a six-hour standoff with the presidential security service at Yoon’s residence.

Yoon’s security team have since installed barbed wire and barricaded the compound with buses.
