Belarus experienced a brief but notable degradation in internet connectivity on the evening of July 23, 2026. The disruption, which lasted approximately 30 minutes, was characterized by a significant drop in network reachability. The event began at 23:30 UTC and concluded by 00:00 UTC on July 24.
Technical Details
The disruption registered a severity score of 815. The primary affected metric was the ping-slash24 signal, which measures the reachability of IPv4 network blocks via active probing. This signal recorded a drop of 37% from its peak value during the event window. Other network health indicators, including Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) control plane visibility, showed minimal change. The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored by the end of the observation period.
