South Korean police have raided the presidential office in Seoul following President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed attempt to impose martial law. While authorities gained access to civil service offices, they were blocked from entering the main building by security. The raid comes amid political turmoil, with Yoon facing investigations on charges of insurrection and treason. The former defense minister, Kim Yong-hyun, who attempted suicide in detention, took responsibility for the martial law declaration. Political pressure on Yoon is mounting as protests continue and impeachment proceedings gain momentum.
