Rwanda experienced a significant internet connectivity disruption on Tuesday, July 15, 2026, lasting over four hours. The event began at approximately 08:10 UTC and persisted until around 12:30 UTC, affecting both routing stability and network reachability.
Technical Details
The disruption registered a high aggregate severity score of 9,497,628. The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) signal, which measures the control plane visibility of network prefixes, recorded a severity score of 1,408. This signal showed a 5% drop from its peak value during the observation period.
The ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across active IPv4 /24 network blocks, recorded a more pronounced severity score of 6,744. This metric indicated a 32% drop in reachability from its peak. The cause has not been publicly attributed. Connectivity was reported restored by the end of the observation window.
