South Korean Police Raid Offices of President Yoon Suk Yeol
-----------------------------------------------------------

South Korean police have raided the offices of President Yoon Suk Yeol
after his short-lived declaration of martial law last week. The police
investigation comes as Yoon has been barred from exiting South Korea
while he remains under investigation for committing treason. Separately,
South Korea's top prison official said the disgraced former Defense
Minister Kim Yong-hyun attempted to end his own life while in custody.
Kim was jailed on Sunday after he allegedly recommended imposing martial
law.
