Chinese rocket debris found near Mindoro Strait
Excerpt
Suspected fallen rocket fairings from China’s launch of its most powerful rocket have been found by Filipino fishermen near Mindoro Strait. The wreckage, which appeared to be part of the payload module’s covers that were jettisoned shortly after launch, bore markings similar to the Long March 5B. They were found afloat by local fishermen some 27 nautical miles northeast of Dimipac Island in Busuanga, Palawan, on July 26, according to a Philippine Coast Guard report seen by the Inquirer.
