Prosecutors on Wednesday raided the headquarters of the Army Special Warfare Command to investigate its role in last week's brief imposition of martial law.

The command was key in deploying troops to the National Assembly building on Dec. 3 to try to stop lawmakers from repealing the martial law imposed by President Yoon Suk Yeol.

Soldiers of the command were deployed to block the National Assembly compound during martial law.

Some of the command's field-grade officers were also mobilized to the National Election Committee and they reportedly filmed the commission's computer servers.

Meanwhile, prosecutors continued their search of the headquarters of the Defense Counterintelligence Command for a third day on Wednesday. (Yonhap)
