Seemingly hundreds of law enforcement officials entered the residential compound of impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol in the capital Seoul in their second attempt to detain him over his imposition of martial law last month.

Following an hours-long stand-off at the compound’s gate, anti-corruption investigators and police officers were seen moving up the hilly compound.
