North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has apologized for the death of a South Korean government worker who was shot dead by North Korean troops after crossing a maritime border between the two countries.

In a letter sent to South Korea's Blue House Friday morning, North Korea said units responded to a call that an unidentified male was found floating on an object in the sea. The letter claims about 10 rounds were fired at the man after he did not comply with a soldier's demand to identify himself and subsequent warning shots.

North Korea says only a pool of blood remained on the floating object after the shots were fired. After soldiers presumed the man to be dead, they burned the floating object on site per North Korea's Covid-19 disease prevention measures.

“North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has apologized for the death of a South Korean government worker who was shot dead by North Korean troops after crossing a maritime border between the two countries.”

I can understand that. Kimmie wants to promote defection to N. Korea.

Since both Trump and Norea Korea instituted travel bans, our domestic enemies must be aggravated that they can’t praise Kimmie’s efforts to successfully prevent any Covid cases in N. Korea.

Wow. Democrats never do that. Now I have to wonder who’s more Left Wing.

That will teach him not to wear a mask.

For him to apologize is an enormous change in the situation that used to exist.
