SEOUL—Kim Jong Un expressed regret on Friday over the death of a South Korean official, saying it shot him as part of measures to battle the coronavirus, the South’s national security adviser said.
North Korea’s United Front Department, in charge of cross-border ties, sent a letter to South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s office a day after Seoul officials said North Korean soldiers killed a South Korean before dousing his body in oil and setting it on fire.
