Prosecutors on Tuesday raided an office of the defense ministry, as part of their probe into President Yoon Suk Yeol's failed bid to impose martial law.
The defense ministry's office has been suspected of helping martial law troops find routes in the National Assembly compound on the night of the martial law imposition on Dec. 3.
The office had been originally tasked with making contact and cooperation between the ministry and the National Assembly.
Prosecutors suspect that former Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun ordered Lt. Gen. Lee Jin-woo, commander of the Capital Defense Command, to seek help from the head of the ministry's office for the botched martial law bid. (Yonhap)
