North Korea’s main news websites and its Foreign Ministry website were inaccessible on Saturday morning, according to checks by Reuters.<\/p>\n

“A major outage is currently occurring on North Korea’s internet – affecting all routes whether they come in via China or Russia,” said Junade Ali, a U.K.-based researcher who monitors the North Korean internet.<\/p>\n

North Korea’s entire internet infrastructure is not showing up on systems that can monitor internet activities, he said.<\/p>\n

“Hard to say if this is intentional or accidental – but seems like this is internal rather than an attack,” he said.<\/p>\n

Officials at South Korea’s Police Cyber Terror Response Centre, which monitors North Korea’s cyber activities, could not be reached for comment.<\/p>\n
