2025.01.06 PM 01:52
■ Today, the last day of Yoon Suk Yeol's arrest deadline, the Airborne Department said it would extend the validity of the arrest warrant and transfer the right to execute the warrant to the police. However, the National Police Agency is demanding that President Yoon's case itself be handed over to the police, saying that there is a legal flaw in executing only arrest warrants.

■ Amid the spread of pro- and anti-impeachment rallies around the Hannam-dong residence over the arrest of President Yoon, dozens of lawmakers from the People's Power joined the anti-impeachment rally today. The ruling party leaders visited the Constitutional Court in protest and demanded a re-decision to remove the rebellion from the impeachment trial.

■ The Democratic Party of Korea slammed the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which failed to arrest President Yoon, as the height of incompetence, and demanded the prompt execution of the warrant. He urged Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok to exercise his command over security and pressured him to hold him accountable if the dereliction of his duties continued.

■ North Korea has resumed provocations by firing ballistic missiles into the East Sea for the first time since the emergency martial law incident. South Korea and the U.S. held a foreign ministers' meeting and emphasized the maintenance of a strong Korea-U.S. alliance in the face of domestic political turmoil.
