The route-leak was something different that seems to have mainly hit west-Europe between 16:52 UTC to 17:08 UTC. There’s a few people in the *NOG communities still digging
at the complete details of that right now, but it currently points to have originated from AS200020, impacting a few large upstreams for a short period of time.
So unless this leak caused a catastrophic cascade in FB’s network somehow, it seems to be unrelated.
It looked like a valid suspect because timing was very similar between the start of the FB outage and the leak.

Do you have a link to the clarification? With the high jitter of news, all I'm finding is people parroting the original statement.

That was the result of a miscommunication; a clarification has been
issued, FYI.
