A top investigator vowed to do whatever it takes to break a security blockade and take in the impeached leader.

A South Korean court has reissued an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk Yeol. He faces impeachment over an alleged coup attempt involving the declaration of martial law in the country, reports Reuters.

Yoon has been lying low at his official residence in Hannam-dong, an upscale district popular with business tycoons and celebrities known as Korea's Beverly Hills. Meanwhile, investigators seeking to question him on allegations of insurrection have struggled to execute a warrant for his arrest.
