South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol attended on Tuesday a Constitutional Court hearing of his impeachment trial where the detained leader may get a chance to argue his case or answer questions over his short-lived bid to impose martial law.

South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol has denied ordering the military to "drag out" politicians from the country's parliament to prevent them from voting down his declaration of martial law.

As South Korean authorities extended President Yoon Suk Yeol's detention, his supporters stormed the courthouse that issued the warrant, smashing windows with police shields.
