Chinese Long March 5B Rocket Debris Falls Back to Earth

Chinese rocket debris has reportedly fallen to Earth across the Pacific and Indian oceans, according to US and Chinese officials.
NASA has previously adviced the Chinese space agency to create rockets that will disintegrate into smaller pieces upon re-entry, according to international standards.

China's space agency claim most remains of their rocket, Long March 5 burned up in the atmosphere and that any re-entry would most likely land in the sea.
Both in May 2020 and May 2021, the Long March 5 variant launched with various components for China's Tiangong (Heavenly Palace) station.

China hopes Tiangong will be complete by the end of 2022.
