South Korean President Apologizes for North Korea Killing

 Jake Mersch

South Korean President Moon Jae-in is critical of his own handling of North Korean troops killing a South Korean official last week. He offered his apology and condolences to the official's family after he was murdered in North Korean controlled waters. The official's family believes the man may have fallen into the water by accident and then as apprehended by North Korean troops where they proceeded to kill him and burn his body. President Moon has stressed that occurrences similar to this one are the reason negotiations often stall between North and South Korea. This is a minor story, however small developments like this could spark increased military tension between the two Koreas. This is very unlikely though.
