North Korea's internet is experiencing a major outage on Saturday affecting all routes coming in and while the cause is yet unclear it may be internal rather than a cyber attack, said a U.K.-based researcher who monitors North Korea's internet.

North Korea's main news web sites and its foreign ministry internet site are currently inaccessible, according to checks by Reuters.
