SEOUL: South Korea's special counsel, investigating former President Yoon Suk Yeol's martial law imposition, on Monday raided the Drone Operations Command (DOC) and the defence ministry, in a sign that the insurrection probe has expanded into treason charges.

Yoon is standing on criminal trial on insurrection charges for his failed martial law bid, but media reports have suspected that he might have ordered the top military brass to send drones to North Korea last year, as he had planned to impose martial law, reports Yonhap news agency.
