A local court in South Korea issued a new warrant to detain former President Yoon Suk Yeol for another six months, Yonhap News TV reported on Friday.

Yoon has been indicted on more charges including aiding an enemy state related to his short-lived imposition of martial law in 2024.

The judge cited concerns over him destroying evidence, Yonhap said.
