A Seoul court has ordered North Korea to pay South Korea 44.6 billion won, equivalent to approximately US$32.5 million, in connection with the 2020 demolition of an inter-Korean liaison office. The ruling was issued on Wednesday by a Seoul court.
The financial penalty stems from the high-profile incident in 2020 when North Korea blew up the liaison office, which had been established to facilitate communication and relations between the two countries.
