(3rd LD) North Korea apologizes for South Korean deaths from dam discharge: Seoul official
By Kim Hyun
SEOUL, Oct. 14 (Yonhap) -- North Korea expressed "regrets" over the deaths of several South Koreans caused by its abrupt discharge of dam water last month, an expression Seoul takes as a de-facto apology, a senior official here said Wednesday.
The remarks came during working-level talks between the two Koreas on flood control measures on a river that runs across their border.
The North also expressed "deep condolences" to the families of the six victims at the inter-Korean talks underway at Kaesong, a town just north of the border, the official from South Korea's Unification Ministry said at a background briefing.
