A court has extended the detention of South Korea’s president, fearing he may attempt to destroy evidence.

Following the decision, protesters gathered, smashed windows and broke into the courthouse in protest, AFP reports.

On Wednesday, Yoon Suk Yeol became the country’s first sitting head of state to be detained.
