North Korea’s state media have erased almost their entire online archives since the execution of Kim Jong-un’s uncle Jang Song-thaek.

The removal of tens of thousands of articles is the largest deletion ever carried out by the official KCNA news agency and the Rodong Sinmun newspaper.

Several reports mentioning Jang had already been edited to remove references to him and other aides, and footage had been cut so that it no longer included him. But subsequently all articles from before October 2013 appeared to been removed from KCNA’s North Korea-hosted site. It is unclear whether they will be reposted at some point or have disappeared for good.

North Korea tests third nuclear device
By Peter Symonds
13 February 2013

North Korea conducted a third underground nuclear test yesterday, further compounding the already tense situation on the Korean Peninsula and across North East Asia.

The official KCNA news agency announced that scientists had conducted a successful test of “a miniaturised and lighter nuclear device with greater explosive force.” Estimates, based on seismic data, put the size of the blast at between 7 and 10 kilotons. This is larger than two previous tests in 2006 and 2009, and about half the yield of the US bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
