South Korea's police on Thursday raided the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) headquarters over President Yoon Suk-yeol's martial law declaration, according to Yonhap news agency.

A group of investigators attempted to secure documents submitted by the JCS at about 2:00 p.m. local time.

Instead of entering the JCS office, the police sought to secure relevant materials voluntarily handed over by the JCS for security reasons.

A police officer was quoted as saying that the investigators would not raid the presidential office Thursday after failing to raid it the previous day.

Yoon declared an emergency martial law on the night of Dec. 3, but it was revoked by the National Assembly hours later.

Investigative agencies launched investigations into the martial law declaration for insurrection and other charges.
