South Koreans rally in Daegu, demand Yoon's ouster

South Korean people continued their protests on Saturday, demanding the removal of President Yoon Suk-yeol following a historic arrest warrant issued against him earlier in the week.

Despite chilly weather, a large crowd of locals gathered in the streets of Daegu, a metropolitan city in the country's southeast, chanting and calling on the Constitutional Court to pass the impeachment case of Yoon Suk-yeol.

The rally comes amid a deepening political crisis as tensions escalate between government authorities and those pushing for Yoon's impeachment.

On Friday, investigators from South Korea's Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) left the presidential residence after failing to arrest the impeached president.

The Seoul court-issued arrest warrant, marking the first of its kind against a sitting president in modern South Korean history, remained unenforced due to continued confrontations.

China successfully launched the Shijian-25 satellite into its preset orbit from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province on Tuesday.

The satellite was boosted into space by a Long March-3B carrier rocket at 4:00 Beijing Time.

Shijian-25 will be used for satellite fuel replenishment and to verify technologies used for extending the life of orbiting satellites.
