BEIJING - North Korea suffered an Internet shutdown for at least two hours on Saturday, Chinese state-media reported, after Pyongyang blamed Washington for an online blackout earlier this week.

"At Pyongyang time 7:30 pm North Korea's Internet and mobile 3G network came to a standstill, and had not returned to normal as of 9:30 pm," Xinhua news agency reported.
