South Korean prosecutors made another request Saturday to extend impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol's detention, according to media reports. The new request was made after a court in Seoul refused to extend Yoon’s detention on Friday, Yonhap News Agency reported.

A South Korean court on Friday rejected the prosecutors' office request to extend the detention of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over a criminal investigation into his short-lived martial law on Dec.

South Korean investigators asked prosecutors to indict the country’s detained President Yoon Suk Yeol over his short-lived imposition of martial law last month, as it accused him of rebellion, abuse of power and obstruction of parliament.
