“#South Korea says Kim Jong-un apologized over shooting death<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n SEOUL, South Korea \u2014 North Korean leader Kim Jong Un apologized Friday over the killing of a South Korea official near the rivals\u2019 disputed sea boundary, saying he\u2019s \u201cvery sorry\u201d about the \u201cunexpected\u201d and \u201cunfortunate\u201d incident, South Korean officials said Friday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s extremely unusual for a North Korean leader to apologize to rival South Korea on any issue. Kim\u2019s apology was expected to ease anti-North sentiments in South Korea and mounting criticism of South Korean President Moon Jae-in over the man\u2019s death this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cComrade Kim Jong Un, the State Affairs Commission chairman, feels very sorry to give big disapp<\/a>ointment to President Moon Jae-in and South Korean citizens because an unexpected, unfortunate incident happened\u201d at a time when South Korea grapples with the coronavirus pandemic, Moon adviser Suh Hoon cited the North Korean message as saying.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, South Korea accused North Korea of fatally shooting one of its public servants who was likely trying to defect and burning his body after finding him on a floating object in North Korean waters earlier this week. South Korean officials condemned North Korea for what they called an \u201catrocious act\u201d and pressed it punish those responsible.<\/p>\n

According to the North Korean message, North Korean troops first fired blanks after the man didn\u2019t fully explain why he was there, rather than saying he\u2019s from South Korea. Then, he showed moves to flee, prompting the North Korean troops to fire 10 rounds. When the troops came near the man\u2019s floating object, they only found lots of blood on the floating object and the man wasn\u2019t seen.<\/p>\n

The troops determined he was dead and burned the floating object in line with anti-coronavirus rules, according to the North Korean message read by Suh.<\/p>\n

Senior South Korean military officer Ahn Young Ho told lawmaker Wednesday that North Korea fatally shot the official likely in line with elevated anti-coronavirus rules that involve \u201cindiscriminate shooting\u201d at anyone approaching its borders illegally.<\/p>\n

Defense Minister Suh Wook said the official was believed to have tried to defect because he left his shoes on the ship and put on a life jacket and resorted to a floating object when he was found in North Korean waters. Suh also cited an unidentified circumstantial evidence indicating the official\u2019s defection attempt. Some experts those weren\u2019t enough to conclude the official tried to defect.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
