Seoul says, North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un has issued a rare personal apology for the killing of a South Korean official.
Kim reportedly told his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in that the incident should not have happened.
South Korea had claimed that the 47-year-old man was allegedly trying to defect to North Korea when he was found by troops floating in the North's waters.
Meanwhile, Seoul said, he was then shot dead and his body was set alight.
The border between the Koreas is tightly policed, and the North is thought to have a shoot-to-kill policy in place to prevent coronavirus from entering the country.
