Libya experienced a significant connectivity disruption on July 28, 2026, affecting key internet control and data plane functions. The event began around 18:45 UTC and lasted approximately 1.3 hours, with a total severity score of 6,981,846.
Technical Details
The disruption was marked by a sharp decline in two primary signals. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) signal, which reflects the visibility of network prefixes across the global routing table, recorded a severity score of 4,186. Its median value dropped by 60% from its peak during the observation window.
Concurrently, the ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across active IPv4 address blocks, recorded a severity score of 1,668. This metric, indicating a reduction in successful active probes, fell by 25% from its observed peak. The cause has not been publicly attributed.
The disruption was resolved by 20:00 UTC.
