In an exceptionally unusual move, Kim Jong-Un has apologized for the incident.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>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 incident he called unexpected and unfortunate, South Korean officials said.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s extremely unusual for a North Korean leader to apologize to South Korea on any issue. Kim\u2019s move could de-escalate tensions between the Koreas as it\u2019s expected to ease anti-North sentiments in South Korea over the man\u2019s death as well as mounting criticism of its liberal President Moon Jae-in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cComrade Kim Jong Un, the State Affairs Commission chairman, feels very sorry to give big disappointment 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<p>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 on Tuesday. South Korean officials condemned North Korea for what they called an \u201catrocious act\u201d and pressed to punish those responsible.<\/p>\n<p>According to the North Korean message, North Korean troops first fired blanks after the man found in the North\u2019s waters refused to answer other than saying he\u2019s from South Korea a couple of times. Then, as he made moves to flee, the North Korean troops fired 10 rounds. When they came near the floating object, they only found lots of blood but no sign of him.<\/p>\n<p>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><\/blockquote>\n<p>More at the source; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/north-koreas-kim-apologizes-shooting-death-korean\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox News\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I talked about the Norks shooting and then burning the body of a South Korean official &hellip; <a title=\"North Korea&#8217;s Kim apologizes over shooting death of S.
