      South Korea's court on Tuesday granted the extension of the warrant to arrest the impeached President Yoon Suk-yeol, which was issued by the same court on Dec. 31 last year.

      The joint investigation unit, composed of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), the National Office of Investigation (NOI) and the defense ministry's investigative headquarters, said in a notice that the warrant to arrest Yoon was issued again in the afternoon.

      The unit requested the Seoul Western District Court to re-issue an arrest warrant against Yoon on Monday when the first warrant expired after failing to arrest Yoon last Friday.

      It marked the first time in the Asian country's modern history that an arrest warrant was issued against a sitting president.

      The validity term of the second warrant could reportedly be longer than the first one which was valid for a week.

      The CIO investigators and police officers attempted to arrest the impeached president in the presidential residence on Jan. 3, but it failed as the presidential security service blocked the execution of the warrant.

      The impeachment motion against Yoon was passed in the National Assembly on Dec. 14 last year and was delivered to the constitutional court to deliberate about it for up to 180 days, during which Yoon's presidential power is suspended.

      Yoon, who was named by investigative agencies as a suspected ringleader on an insurrection charge, declared martial law on the night of Dec. 3, but it was revoked by the National Assembly hours later.

      China's warehouse storage sector maintained expansion in March, according to the index released by the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP) on Thursday.

      In March, China's warehousing index reached 50.8 percent, rising by 0.6 percentage points from the previous month and remaining in the expansion zone for the fifth consecutive month.

      Driven by policies aimed at promoting consumption, demand for warehousing services continued to grow steadily, with the consumer goods market performing particularly well. Warehousing demand for food, household appliances, textiles, and daily necessities surged, leading to a significant rise in the new order index.

      "The warehouse storage sector has remained in the expansion range for five consecutive months, reflecting the overall stability of the warehousing sector. The demand for warehousing in the livelihood consumption sector continues to strengthen, boosting activity across the entire warehousing sector," said Liu Yuhang, director of the China Logistics Information Center.

      In terms of inventory levels, the average inventory turnover index reached 54.5 percent in March, an increase of 8.2 percentage points from the previous month, entering the expansion range. Overall, in the first quarter, the warehousing sector continued to expand, business demand maintained steady growth, and the industry operated smoothly and efficiently.
