Police on Friday convened a meeting of field commanders ahead of a second attempt at detaining impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol over his botched imposition of martial law.

The National Office of Investigation (NOI) ordered the leaders of the police investigation teams of Seoul, Gyeonggi Province and other jurisdictions in the capital area to gather at the NOI headquarters to discuss planning for the second detention attempt.

Investigators are believed to be preparing to execute a court-issued warrant to detain Yoon on insurrection and abuse of power charges.

Their first attempt to execute the warrant last Friday failed after Yoon's bodyguards blocked them from entering the official presidential residence in Seoul.

On Thursday, the NOI sent an official note to investigation teams across the capital area requesting they prepare to mobilize around 1,000 investigators for the second attempt. (Yonhap)
