Yes. It's wise to monitor BGP announcements received from peers, and to investigate when large numbers of announcements or withdrawals take place simultaneously.

Human error, deliberate disaggregation for traffic-engineering purposes, accidental or deliberate hijacking, turning up new peering links, et. al. can result in sudden flurries of route announcements/withdrawals.
