SEOUL — South Korea’s monthslong political crisis continues to limp along, leading to acts of antagonism between rival political camps as tensions flare in the wait for a verdict on the fate of impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol.

With this week set to end without an announcement of the date the verdict will be delivered, Yoon’s impeachment case has already run longer than two previous such cases in the country. Since Yoon led a botched attempt at imposing martial law on Dec. 3, the left-wing and conservative sides of the political spectrum have traded accusations that the other is undermining order and governance in favor of their own interests.
