alert2blue

Cote D’Ivoire experienced a significant internet connectivity degradation early on May 30, 2026. The disruption lasted for approximately two hours and twenty minutes, beginning at 02:10 UTC and ending by 04:30 UTC. The event was characterized by a sharp drop in network reachability.

Technical Details

The degradation registered a severity score of 3,009. The primary affected metric was the ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 /24 network prefixes. This signal showed a 19% drop from its peak value during the observation window.

Other network health indicators also showed deviations. The gtr.sarima signal, which forecasts expected traffic baselines, recorded a 65% drop from its peak. The merit-nt signal, a proxy for aggregate connectivity, showed a 64% drop. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) control plane, responsible for routing visibility, remained stable throughout the event.

The cause has not been publicly attributed. The disruption was reported as resolved by 04:30 UTC.
