North Korea Praises South's Apology, Tensions Cool

0:00On April 7th, South Korea's Unification Ministry is calling North Korea's response to President Lee Jae-mi-ung's apology over drone flights a real step, forward in cooling military tensions between the two nations. Earlier this week, Lee's team expressed regret for civilian drones that flew into North Korean airspace going against government policy and pledged to stop any repeats. Influential North Korean figure Kim Yo-jong praised the move as fortunate and wise, a big shift from years of harsh talk, though she warned Seoul too, avoid reaching out. Pyongyang has long viewed the South as his top enemy, dropping talk of reunification, and treating them as separate hostile states after the 19, 50-53 Korean war truce. Experts see this as North Korea carefully accepting the apology to manage risks without changing their tough stance, while Seoul sticks to no hostile. Acts and pushes for peace on the peninsula.
