South Korea's supreme court has ordered Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) to pay compensation over South Koreans' forced labour in a shipyard during World War Two.
The Mainichi daily said the court threw out an appeal by the company.
It will now have to pay KRW 80m ($72,200) to each of five plaintiffs.
The bereaved families of five former workers sued MHI, saying they were forced to work at its shipyard and machine shop in Hiroshima with almost no freedom of movement from August to October 1944.
