South Korean police enter the residence to arrest President Yoon Suk Yeol

Early this morning (January 15), hundreds of South Korean police and investigators entered the presidential residence of Yoon Suk Yeol, in a second attempt to arrest the leader impeached for imposing martial law last month.

A large number of police officers and investigators entered the main gate of President Yoon Suk Yeol's residence on the morning of January 15.

Acting President Choi Sang-mok announced that the execution of the arrest warrant for the impeached president had been carried out, adding that this is a crucial time to maintain order and the rule of law in South Korea.

After clashing with security forces blocking the main gate, police used a ladder to enter President Yoon Suk Yeol's residence, according to AFP.

Yonhap also reported on the clash between security guards and police forces, with shoving occurring between the two sides.

Subsequent television footage showed approximately 20 people, believed to be investigators and police officers, using ladders to climb over the fence and enter the presidential residence.

Once inside, they passed through a "second barrier" of buses lined up to block the road. At least one person was injured in the ensuing clash.

Mr. Yoon's lawyers could be seen standing outside the mansion gates, protesting the arrest warrant.
