Liberia experienced a brief disruption to its internet control plane visibility on Tuesday, July 15, 2026. The event lasted approximately 15 minutes, centered around 09:40 UTC, and was characterized by a degradation in the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) signal.
Technical Details
The disruption recorded a severity score of 33. The affected BGP signal measures the stability of routing announcements for the country’s IP address prefixes. A drop in this metric indicates reduced visibility of Liberian networks in the global internet routing table.
Other network health indicators showed less pronounced deviations during the observation window from 06:30 to 12:30 UTC. The ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 network blocks, showed a 13% drop from its peak. Backscatter measurements, a proxy for aggregate connectivity, also registered a temporary decline.
Reported Cause
The cause of the disruption has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored within the observation period.
