The fallout from South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's brief imposition of martial law continues amid reports of his office being raided and his former defense minister attempting suicide. Raids were also conducted at the offices of the Seoul Metropolitan Police and the National Assembly Police Guards, police told Yonhap. Amid the raids, the chief of South Korea's Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials told reporters that it would seek to detain and arrest Yoon if the necessary conditions are met. The events come amid continued calls from opposition lawmakers, civil groups and protestors for Yoon to be removed from office. South Korea's main opposition Democratic Party (DP) is reportedly set to introduce a second impeachment motion against Yoon Wednesday, after the president survived an earlier parliamentary vote on Saturday.

People march in heavy rain to protest against South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol, as strike and protests continue amid the martial law crisis, in Seoul, South Korea, on December 05, 2024. South Korea's leadership crisis deepened on Sunday as prosecutors named President Yoon Suk Yeol as a subject of a criminal investigation over last week's martial law attempt, a media report said, and his former defense minister was arrested. But National Assembly speaker Woo Won-shik said it was unconstitutional to delegate presidential authority to the prime minister and the ruling party without impeachment. Woo proposed a meeting of rival parties to discuss ways to suspend Yoon's presidential power immediately. The DP called for the arrest of Yoon and related military officials implicated in the martial law fiasco.
