State media. The national airline. All offline.No known cause and no one claiming it.
- North Korean .kp domain websites, including state media KCNA, Rodong Sinmun, Air Koryo airline, and government portals, experienced a widespread outage starting October 20, 2026, lasting roughly 32 hours before most restored access.
- The timing overlapped with unverified social media rumors claiming Kim Jong Un suffered a brain hemorrhage or died, which originated from a Chinese dissident's X posts but were quickly countered by state media photos of him at a clothing expo with his daughter.
- Analysts attribute the outage primarily to technical issues like unstable power or problems with the single Chinese telecom line routing NK servers, though a DDoS attack remains a possible but unconfirmed factor; similar disruptions have occurred before. Grok
