SEOUL, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Some North Korean websites appear to have ​been experiencing intermittent outages, analysts ‌said on Wednesday.

Here are the details:

More than 40 official sites ​using the country's .kp domain, ​including those of the foreign ⁠ministry and state news ​agency KCNA, were inaccessible or ​unstable on Tuesday, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported.

Network monitoring service ​Telecom Observer said it ​detected nearly six hours of disruptions in North ‌Korea's ⁠Border Gateway Protocol routing infrastructure from 1810 to 2350 GMT on Tuesday.

Analysts also ​observed intermittent ​outages ⁠on Wednesday, though many websites, such as ​KCNA and newspaper Rodong ​Sinmun, ⁠were accessible by 0043 GMT.

The cause has not been ⁠publicly ​attributed, analysts said.

North ​Korea's internet has suffered disruptions before.
