Zimbabwe experienced a one-hour internet connectivity disruption on Monday, July 28. The degradation was recorded between 18:10 and 19:10 UTC, with a peak severity score of 1,263. The primary impact was observed in active network reachability measurements.
Technical Details
The disruption was characterized by a significant drop in the ping-slash24 signal, which measures ICMP reachability across IPv4 network prefixes. The signal recorded a 24% drop from its peak value during the event. The country’s Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) control plane visibility remained stable, showing no observable withdrawal of announced network prefixes. The cause has not been publicly attributed.
Connectivity was reported restored by 19:10 UTC.
