A court in Seoul ruled on Thursday that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un must pay a total of 105 million won (€60,177) in damages to five former Korean War prisoners, the third such ruling against Pyongyang.
The Seoul Central District Court said it had ordered Kim to pay 21 million won (€12,024) to each of the five plaintiffs, all former South Korean soldiers who were captured during the 1950-53 war and forcibly held in the North for decades.
