SEOUL (Reuters) – A South Korean court has approved a request to issue an arrest warrant for detained President Yeon Suk-yeol, the Western District Court in Seoul said on Sunday.

The approval extends the period for which he can be detained as authorities investigate him on suspicion of rebellion due to his brief declaration of martial law on December 3 last year.
