2/ Yoon, who has been under arrest since Jan 15, faces insurrection charges over December's martial law declaration. The court cited the risk of evidence destruction in its decision to convert his arrest into longer detention.

4/ Pro-Yoon protesters breached the court at 3:21am, breaking through police lines and shattering entrance doors. Some searched for the judge who issued the warrant, while others vandalised court facilities and ripped off exterior walls. Some 40 people have reportedly been arrested.

5/ Yoon personally appeared at yesterday's detention warrant hearing, speaking for 40 minutes. He argued martial law was a legitimate "act of governance", but failed to persuade the judge. His lawyers called the decision "unconstitutional".

6/ The former prosecutor-turned-president will now be moved from a holding cell to a solitary detention room at Seoul Detention Centre. He must change from his suit into prison uniform and undergo booking procedures, including mugshots and fingerprinting.

7/ His detention cell will be roughly 10 square meters, equipped with basic amenities including a mattress, desk, TV, toilet, and sink, similar to facilities that housed former presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye.
