Although North Korea internet down issue was blamed for U.S., the U.S. officials stated that they were not connected with the internet outages.

North Korea warned U.S. that they could face revenge for the North Korea internet down incident.

"If the US persists in American-style arrogant, high-handed and gangster-like arbitrary practices despite (North Korea's) repeated warnings, the US should bear in mind that its failed political affairs will face inescapable deadly blows."
