The fiery remains of a Chinese Long March 5B were seen streaking across the night sky from Malaysia as it re-entered Earth’s atmosphere and landed in the sea on July 31, 2022. China’s space agency has faced criticism for failing to inform other nations and regions about the trajectory of such space debris. Chinese state-run media has dismissed the criticism as an exaggeration. China’s space agency said that whatever did not burn up upon re-entry crashed into the Sulu Sea between Malaysia and the Philippines.
