South Korean authorities investigating impeached President Yoon Seok-yeol are at his official residence to execute an arrest warrant over insurrection accusations related to his martial law declaration.
Video footage on Wednesday showed vehicles from the investigating authorities in front of Yoon's hill-side villa in Seoul, where he has been hold up for weeks.
Investigators were foiled on January 3 from serving the first-ever arrest warrant issued against a sitting South Korean president after a standoff with hundreds of presidential security agents and military guards.
Some 6500 supporters of Yoon were gathered at the residence on Wednesday, and some ruling party lawmakers were forming a human chain to block the execution of the arrest warrant, Yonhap news agency said.
The team executing the arrest warrant, made up of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) and the police, secured a re-issued warrant on January 7 and has held multiple meetings in a bid to ensure a successful execution.
