The wreckage of China's largest rocket, launched last week, has sunk into the Indian Ocean. The debris sank into the Indian Ocean after entering the Earth's atmosphere. However, a large portion of the debris was destroyed as soon as it entered the atmosphere.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry had already informed that the remnants of the rocket would be re-incinerated as soon as it entered the Earth's atmosphere, reducing the risk of damage.

The Pentagon was warned by the US Department of Defense a few days ago that a Long March 5B rocket would hit the ground and finally hit the Indian Ocean. According to Chinese media reports, it lies in the southeast of India, around Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

It was approaching Earth at a speed of 18,000 miles per hour, according to a U.S. Space Force report. Because of this, it was not clear where he would land.

After going out of control, the rocket started moving towards the ground and if it collided with the ground, damage was feared. However, according to experts, most of this Chinese rocket was about to burn to ashes as it approached the Earth. China sent the first part of its space station to be built into space with the help of this rocket. This module was named Tianhe.
