Rocket debris strikes villager鈥檚 home
Print Edition
DEBRIS from a rocket carrying a Chinese satellite into orbit crashed into a villager’s home minutes after the launch, local police and media reports said.
The parts plummeted to Earth with a huge roar on Thursday morning in Xunyang County in the northern province of Shaanxi, news portal Sina.com said on a social media account, citing local sources. No casualties were reported, it added.
Pictures showed a man standing beside what appeared to be a rocket nozzle as tall as him, in front of a cracked wall. Another image showed a hole in a roof.
In a post on the Sina Weibo, police said this was part of a rocket’s propulsion system and called on residents “not to panic.”
A Long March-4 rocket carrying a satellite was launched from neighboring Shanxi Province nine minutes before the impact, reported Xinhua news agency.
