Han Duck-soo

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol Wednesday yet again defied summons from investigators who are probing events leading up to the short-lived Dec. 3 martial law, Yonhap news reported.

It was the third time Yoon, 63, refused to attend questioning.

South Korea's opposition said on Dec. 24 it would hold back a decision to impeach acting president Han Duck-soo until later in the week.

The opposition Democratic Party earlier said it would introduce an impeachment motion against Han on Dec. 24 to protest against the interim leader's refusal to sign into law special bills to investigate his impeached predecessor.

South Korea's main opposition party said on Sunday it will try again to impeach President Yoon Suk Yeol after his declaration of martial law.

Meanwhile, police arrested the defense minister in charge of the martial law operation, and the interior minister resigned. Both they and Yoon are being investigated for alleged insurrection.
