Standoff at South Korean president’s residence as investigators try to carry out arrest warrant

South Korea's police and anti-corruption investigators are attempting to arrest impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol at his residence in Seoul, as reported by Yonhap.
Approximately 2,700 police and 135 police buses have been deployed to prevent clashes between Yoon's supporters and anti-Yoon demonstrators.
Yoon's legal team has filed for an injunction against the arrest warrant, calling it 'an unlawful and invalid act.'
The head of the CIO warned that obstructing the arrest could lead to prosecution for individuals trying to block authorities.
