South Korean President Lee Jae Myung expressed regret over unauthorized drone flights into North Korea, prompting influential North Korean official Kim Yo-jong to offer rare praise, describing Lee as "frank and broad-minded" and the apology as "very fortunate and wise behavior." Lee addressed the incident during a Cabinet meeting, stating his regret over "unnecessary military tension caused by such reckless behavior," as reported by Yonhap.
Kim Yo-jong, a department director of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party, conveyed Pyongyang's appreciation through state media. Despite this conciliatory tone, Kim also issued a warning to Seoul, urging it to "stop any reckless provocation" and "refrain from any attempt at contact." This exchange marks a notable, albeit cautious, de-escalation in rhetoric between the two Koreas, following a period of heightened tensions.
