North Korea warns the South Korean navy to stop crossing into its territorial waters as ships search for the body of a Seoul official killed by its troops
People watch a screen showing a file image of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during a news program at the Seoul Railway Station in Seoul, South Korea on Sept. 25, 2020.
South Korea said earlier that North Korea sent a message including a rare apology by leader Kim Jong-un over the shooting death last week of a South Korean government official found on a floating object in North Korean waters. Officials in Seoul say the 47-year-old was likely attempting to defect to North Korea but little else is known about his motives.
