North Macedonia registered a short-lived connectivity disruption in the early hours of July 15. The event lasted approximately six minutes, centered around 02:09 UTC, with a severity score of 475. The primary impact was observed in network traffic measurements.
Technical Details
The disruption was recorded with a severity score of 475. The event lasted from 02:09 to 02:15 UTC. The merit-nt signal, a backscatter measurement that serves as a proxy for aggregate connectivity, showed a drop of 44% from its peak value. The gtr-norm signal, which measures deviation from an expected traffic baseline, recorded a 50% drop. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) control plane visibility and active probing for IPv4 reachability remained largely stable, showing minimal deviation.
The cause has not been publicly attributed. Connectivity was reported restored following the brief event.
