The impeached president faces an attempt by authorities to arrest him over his short-lived Dec. 3 martial law.

A South Korean court on Tuesday approved an arrest warrant issued for President Yoon Suk Yeol, who was impeached and stripped of his presidential powers just weeks ago over his short-lived martial law decree that threw the country into political chaos.

South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol told his conservative supporters rallying outside his Seoul residence he vowed to “fight to the end” against “anti-state forces."
