South Korean Court Extends Former President Yoon Suk Yeol's Detention by Six Months

A South Korean court has extended the detention of former President Yoon Suk Yeol by six months with a new arrest warrant. Yoon faces charges including aiding the enemy and attempting to impose martial law in 2024, with prosecutors alleging he ordered drone flights over North Korea. The court cited concerns of evidence destruction for the extended detention. Yoon has been involved in multiple criminal proceedings since his removal from office in April, including an insurrection trial and obstruction of justice charges.
