The former defense minister of South Korea attempted suicide, prompting police to raid the presidential office.

• An investigation into South Korea President Yoon's six-hour martial law declaration has led to a search of his office, according to police reports.
• On the same day, it was reported that his former defense minister had made an attempt at suicide while already in detention.

The aftermath of South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol's brief implementation of martial law persists, with reports of his office being searched and his former defense minister attempting suicide.

On Wednesday, the police searched the president's office as part of an investigation into the six-hour martial law declaration that has caused political turmoil in the country, according to a report from Yonhap news agency.

According to Yonhap, police searched the offices of the Seoul Metropolitan Police and the National Assembly Police Guards in addition to Yoon's absence from the building during the raid.

The chief of South Korea's Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials stated that they would attempt to apprehend Yoon if certain conditions are fulfilled during the ongoing raids.

Woo Won-shik, the National Assembly Speaker of South Korea, announced on Wednesday that he had used his power to initiate a parliamentary investigation into Yoon, and called for the establishment of a special committee to handle the probe.

Kim Yong-hyun, Yoon's former defense minister, was already detained on insurrection charges due to an investigation into his role in the six hours of martial law.

On Wednesday, the ex-official tried to take his own life at his eastern Seoul detention facility, according to a Yonhap report.

The head of the correctional center informed lawmakers during a parliamentary hearing that Kim is now in a protective cell and his health is stable, according to the report.

Continued calls from opposition lawmakers, civil groups, and protestors for Yoon to be removed from office coincide with the occurrence of events.

On Wednesday, South Korea's main opposition party, the Democratic Party (DP), is expected to submit a second impeachment motion against President Yoon. Despite surviving a parliamentary vote on Saturday, President Yoon remains under scrutiny.

After the impeachment vote, Yoon's party leader announced that the president would step down.
