Iraq Experiences Brief Connectivity Disruption
Iraq experienced a connectivity disruption on Sunday, June 15, 2026, lasting approximately 90 minutes. The event began at 03:00 UTC and concluded by 04:30 UTC, with the most significant impact observed on network reachability.
Technical Details
The disruption registered a severity score of 6,052. The primary affected signal was ping-slash24, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 /24 prefixes. This signal recorded a drop of 69% from its peak value during the observation window.
Other network health indicators also showed deviations. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) signal, which reflects control plane visibility for network prefixes, saw an 18% drop. The gtr.sarima signal, a forecast of expected traffic volume, deviated from its baseline by 58%. The ucsd-nt signal, a proxy for aggregate connectivity, fell by 77% from its peak.
The cause has not been publicly attributed. Connectivity was reported restored by the end of the observation period.
