South Korea's air traffic authorities will ban drones from flying around the Constitutional Court in Seoul from Thursday ahead of the ruling on the impeachment of President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Yoon is South Korea’s first president who has been arrested while in office, and there are no clear laws or past rulings that could guarantee his immediate return to office, analysts say. But he was eventually released from prison, after a Seoul court canceled his arrest and allowed him to stand his criminal trial without being detained.

Amid rival mass rallies in Seoul, Yoon Suk Yeol is freed from detention as he faces trial on insurrection charges over his short-lived imposition of martial law.

South Korea’s impeached conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol was released from prison on Saturday, a day after a Seoul court canceled his arrest to allow him to stand trial for rebellion without being detained.

Authorities are introducing strict security measures in central Seoul, including a no-fly zone, school closures and increased law enforcement presence around the Constitutional Court for the impending ruling on President Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment.
