South Korean President Lee Jae Myung urged on Thursday North Korea to return to dialogue, a day after Seoul's military demanded an apology over a recent DMZ blast that severely injured three South Korean soldiers.
"I hope that the North joins us now on the path of restoring trust and resuming dialogue, following a long interruption," Lee said in his speech marking the country's Armed Forces Day.
