Kim Jong-un apologises for killing of South Korean official - South - BBC News: North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un has issued a rare personal apology for the killing of a South Korean official, Seoul says.
Mr Kim reportedly told South Korean leader Moon Jae-in that the "disgraceful affair" should not have happened.
South Korea has said the 47-year-old man was found by troops floating in the North's waters.
He was then shot dead and his body was set alight, according to Seoul.
It is not known what the man was doing there. The South Korean government has said he may have been trying to defect to the North but his family has denied this.
The killing - the first of a South Korean citizen by North Korean forces for a decade - has caused outrage in the South.
