A Seoul court ordered North Korea to pay South Korea about 44.6 billion won, or $32.5m, for destroying the Inter-Korean Liaison Office in Kaesong in 2020. It is the first time the South Korean government has directly sought damages from the North Korean state, though experts doubt Pyongyang will pay.
