Indonesian authorities said on the 20th that they were investigating the suspected fall of Chinese rocket fragments.

The first fragment fell in a palm oil plantation, and the second fragment fell about 1 kilometer away from the first fragment. The Indonesian Civil Aviation Authority pointed out that the debris may have come from a Chinese rocket.

According to the "AFP" report, 51-year-old worker Wardi Tamroni found a piece of debris at a palm oil plantation near the town of Sampit in Central Kalimantan, Borneo, on the morning of the 19th. Previously, local residents said that they heard a loud noise in a remote area of ​​​​Central Kalimantan Province on the evening of the 18th.

Tamroni pointed out that the debris fell about 3 kilometers from the employee dormitory area of ​​PT Agro Bukit, the palm oil company where he works. Indonesian police claimed that the fragment was irregular in shape, up to 9 meters in length, and had burn marks on its surface.

Indonesian Civil Aviation Department spokesman Zachrudien claimed that the incident caused no casualties or property damage. He added that authorities discovered a second fragment about 1 kilometer away from the first fragment on the 20th.

Indonesia's National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) said the debris was suspected to have come from China's Zhuque-2 Improved (Zhuque-2E) rocket. BRIN researcher Thomas Djamaluddin pointed out that all parts of the spacecraft may not be completely burned when re-entering the Earth's atmosphere, and parts with higher heat resistance may reach the surface.

On the 14th, China launched an improved Zhuque-2 rocket from a commercial launch site in the northwest, sending 10 satellites into space. At present, "AFP" is unable to contact the China National Space Administration and obtain a response on this matter.
