Violence broke out early Sunday at the Seoul Western District Court after the formal arrest of President Yoon Suk-yeol over his failed martial law attempt. An estimated 44,000 of Yoon’s supporters gathered outside the court, with 86 protesters detained for storming the building. Protesters broke windows, hurled objects at police and discharged fire extinguishers, leading to clashes. Separately, three individuals were arrested near the Constitutional Court, which is deliberating on whether to uphold Yoon’s impeachment.

Police and prosecutors have launched investigations into the incident. Those arrested face charges ranging from property damage to riot-related offenses, carrying potential sentences of up to 10 years in prison. Yoon, through his lawyer, expressed regret over the violence and called for peaceful protests. Acting President Choi Sang-mok condemned the attack and ordered a crackdown on unlawful acts while increasing security at judicial facilities.
