Some major North Korean websites remained blocked Wednesday for the second straight day amid growing speculation over cyber warfare between Washington and Pyongyang.
After going down on Tuesday evening, the website of the North's main propaganda organ, Uriminzokkiri, had remained inaccessible before going back online Wednesday afternoon, although no updated contents were posted.
Access to other well-known North Korean propaganda websites, including Ryugyong and Ryomyong, remained blocked as of Wednesday evening.
Yonhap News Agency found the Internet servers of the affected websites were all located in Chinese cities, including Shenyang and Dandong.
The location of the servers indicated the problem may be taking place in the network linking China and North Korea, some experts noted.
