South Korea's joint investigation unit said on Monday that it sought a warrant to arrest the impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol over his martial law imposition after he failed to report for questioning.

"The Joint Investigation Headquarters filed an arrest warrant for President Yoon Suk-yeol with the Seoul Western District Court," the probe team said in a statement.
