Examples of compact non-Kähler complex manifolds with Kodaira dimension zero

Let $X$ be a minimal compact non-Kähler complex manifold. Suppose that Kodaira dimension $\kappa(X)=0$.

Is there a known example where the canonical bundle is not holomorphically torsion?

For minimal compact Kähler manifolds, the (Kähler extension of the) abundance conjecture predicts that the canonical bundle is holomorphically torsion. Indeed, if $K_X$ is nef, then abundance implies $K_X$ is semi-ample. So we have an Iitaka morphism $\Phi : X \to X_{\text{can}}$, where $\dim(X_{\text{can}})= \kappa(X)=0$, and moreover, $K_X^{\otimes \ell} = f^{\ast} K_{X_{\text{can}}}$, for some $\ell>0$ sufficiently large. Since $X_{\text{can}} = \text{pt}$, we see that $K_X^{\otimes \ell} \simeq f^{\ast} K_{X_{\text{can}}} \simeq \mathcal{O}_X$.

I have never seen the abundance conjecture stated for non-Kähler compact complex manifolds (likely because there is a simple example illustrating its failure which I am unable to bring to mind).
