North Korea Apologizes For Killing South Korean Man At Sea, But Denies Setting Body On Fire

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un apologized to South Korea after the communist government shot and killed a South Korean fisheries official who may have been defecting to the north on a floating object of some sort, South Korea officials said on Friday.

According to Yonhap News, South Korean Director of National Security Cheong Wa Dae revealed the North Korean apology, with the dictator saying in a letter that he was “very sorry” for the “unsavory” incident in North Korean waters earlier this week.
