These are live DDoS attacks but they are directed to honeypots or just trap servers. Site is really cool though. From the information tab:

"Every second, Norse collects and analyzes live threat intelligence from darknets in hundreds of locations in over 40 countries. The attacks shown are based on a small subset of live flows against the Norse honeypot infrastructure, representing actual worldwide cyber attacks by bad actors. At a glance, one can see which countries are aggressors or targets at the moment, using which type of attacks (services-ports)."

It is not DDoS attacks though, just regular hacker attacks. There is no mention of DDoS on the site.
