Kim Jong Un apologizes for killing of South Korean official - UPI.com

Kim Jong Un apologized for the killing of a South Korean fisheries official by North Korean soldiers earlier this week, saying he was "very sorry" in a formal notice sent to Seoul, the president's office announced Friday.

The North Korean leader "feels very sorry that...an unexpected and unfortunate incident happened in our waters, which brought great disappointment to President Moon Jae-in and South Koreans," the message said, according to Suh Hoon, director of national security at the presidential Blue House, who relayed its contents at a press briefing.
The notice was attributed to the United Front Department of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea, which is responsible for inter-Korean affairs. It came in response to an official demand for an explanation about the incident by the South, Suh said.
