"Widespread North Korean Internet Outages... Possible Internal Cause"

Ministry of Foreign Affairs Website and Others Become Inaccessible

It has been reported that North Korea is experiencing widespread internet outages.


On June 7, Reuters cited a UK-based organization that monitors North Korean internet activity, reporting that all routes providing access to North Korea's internet experienced severe disruptions on that day.

The organization stated that the exact cause of the incident remains unclear, but it is presumed to be an internal issue within North Korea rather than a cyberattack. Reuters added that it is currently impossible to access North Korean media and the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, among others.
