Burundi experienced a significant internet connectivity disruption on Tuesday, June 30, 2026. The degradation lasted for approximately one hour and ten minutes, beginning at 07:00 UTC and ending around 08:10 UTC. The event registered a severity score of 3,259, primarily driven by a sharp drop in network reachability.
Technical Details
The disruption was most pronounced in the ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 network prefixes. The median reachability score dropped by 58% from its peak during the event. The Merit Network Telescope (merit-nt) signal, a proxy for aggregate connectivity, showed a 100% drop from its peak. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) control plane signal, which reflects routing visibility, saw a more modest 6% decline. The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored by 08:10 UTC.
