SEOUL - South Korean President Moon Jae-in said on Monday Japan's reported accusations that South Korea has violated international sanctions by exporting banned goods to North Korea posed a"grave challenge" to Seoul.

The curbs were seen as a response to South Korean court rulings ordering Japanese companies to compensate wartime forced labourers.
