Cloudflare Q2 2026 Internet disruption report documents major outages caused by natural disasters (Super Typhoon Sinlaku in Guam, earthquakes in Venezuela, power failures in Tanzania), government-mandated shutdowns (Sudan exam periods), geopolitical events (Iran's 88-day blackout and partial restoration, drone strike damage to AWS infrastructure in UAE), and infrastructure failures (cable cut in Saint Lucia, faulty DNSSEC signatures in Germany).
