South Korea’s Justice Ministry says an overseas travel ban has been imposed on President Yoon Suk Yeol during an investigation into his short-lived declaration of martial law.

Police, prosecutors and the anti-corruption agency requested the ban as they expanded their investigations into possible rebellion charges over Mr Yoon’s imposition of martial law last week.

A justice ministry official told a parliamentary hearing that the ban was issued.
