Prosecutors indicted detained South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol on Sunday on charges of leading an insurrection with his short-lived imposition of martial law last month.

Yonhap news agency says South Korean prosecutors have indicted the impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his imposition of martial law.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol attended on Tuesday a Constitutional Court hearing of his impeachment trial where the detained leader may get a chance to argue his case or answer questions over his short-lived bid to impose martial law.
