South Korean court orders Japanese firms to compensate wartime workers

South Korea's top court orders Japanese companies Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Nippon Steel Corp to compensate Korean wartime workers for forced labor during Japan's colonial rule. While the ruling may strain relations, observers believe it won't significantly impact bilateral ties, as Seoul and Tokyo focus on strengthening partnerships amid common challenges from North Korea and China, despite having different leaders.
