South Korea’s ex-defense minister attempts suicide; police raid presidential office

The fallout from South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol’s brief imposition of martial law continues amid reports of his office being raided and his former defense minister attempting suicide. 

Police searched the president’s office on Wednesday as part of an investigation into his six-hour martial law declaration last week, which has sparked a massive political turmoil in the country, according to a report from local news agency Yonhap.
