Humingi ng tawad ang leader ng North Korea na si Kim Jong-un kay South Korean President Moon Jae-in kaugnay ng insidente ng pagpatay sa kanilang opisyal ng North Korean forces noong Martes sa Pyongyang waters.
Hindi inilabas ng South Korea ang pangalan ng opisyal na napatay ngunit ito ay nagtatrabaho umano sa Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.
Ayon sa defense ministry ng Seoul, binaril ito sa Pyongyang waters na bahagi ng North Korea. Binuhusan din umano ng gasolina ng mga sundalo ng North Korea ang katawan ng opisyal at sinilaban ito.
Ayon sa Presidential office ng South Korea na tinatawag ding Blue House, humingi ng tawad si Jong-un kay Jae-in at sa mga mamamayan ng bansa.
Pahayag ni Jong-un, “I am deeply sorry that an unexpected and unfortunate thing has happened in our territorial waters that delivered a big disappointment to President Moon Jae-in and the people of the South.”
Kinumpirma ito ni Suh Hoon, adviser ni Pres. Jae-in at aniya, "Comrade 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.”
Ibinigay din ng North Korea ang resulta ng kanilang imbestigasyon sa South Korea at nakasaad dito na mahigit sampung putok ng baril ang natamo ng namatay na opisyal.
Saad ni Hoon, “The troops could not locate the unidentified trespasser during a search after firing the shots, and burned the device under national emergency disease prevention measures.”
Saad din ng North Korea sa kanilang mensahe: “Our soldiers fired about 10 shots at the illegal intruder, based on a decision made by our ship’s captain and according to operational guidelines of maritime security.
“Our military concluded that the illegal intruder was shot and killed, and burned his floatable device according to our epidemiological regulations.”
