South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol refused on Monday to be questioned by investigators under a probe into whether he committed insurrection, as dozens of his supporters faced arrest over a violent rampage on a court building.

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.

SEOUL (Reuters) - A South Korean court granted on Sunday an extension of President Yoon Suk Yeol's detention, saying there was "concern" that Yoon could "destroy evidence" in a criminal probe related to his short-lived declaration of martial law in early December.
