The United States Department of State said Thursday it wants an explanation from North Korea about the killing of a South Korean citizen who had drifted into DPRK waters.
The U.S. condemned the incident after President Moon Jae-in had earlier described the shooting and burning of the ROK citizen as "shocking" and regretable.
