According to police, they have successfully entered the civil service buildings; however, security guards have prevented them from entering Yoon’s office’s main building.
The raids are the most recent event in a turbulent week for South Korean politics.
Several arms of government are looking into President Yoon, who has remained in office despite calls for his resignation and an impeachment vote, on suspicion of treason and insurrection.
According to an official, Kim Yong-hyun, the former defense minister of the nation who was in charge of declaring martial law, made an attempt on his life Tuesday night while he was being held in custody.
Kim “has no current health issues” and is being held in a guard room at the moment.
