South Korean authorities investigating impeached President Yoon Seok Yeol were at his official residence on Wednesday to execute an arrest warrant over insurrection accusations related to his Dec. 3 martial law declaration.



Video footage showed vehicles from the investigating authorites in front of Yoon's hill-side villa in Seoul, where he has been hold up for weeks.



Investigators were foiled on Jan. 3 from serving the first ever arrest warrant issued against a sitting South Korean president after a standoff with hundreds of presidential security agents and military guards.



Some 6,500 supporters of Yoon were gathered at the residence on Wednesday, and some ruling party lawmakers were forming a human chain to block the execution of the arrest warrant, Yonhap news agency said.
