The Seoul Western District Court extended Yoon’s arrest warrant, which expired on Monday, according to the country’s anti-graft agency. The agency’s chief Oh Dong-woon apologised earlier in the day for the failure to arrest Yoon, due to his security forces strong resistance, and vowed to arrest him in the second attempt.

A South Korean court has re-issued a warrant to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol, the country's corruption investigation agency said on Tuesday. Investigators seeking to question him on allegations of insurrection have struggled to execute a warrant for his arrest.
