Debris from a Chinese rocket is expected to fall on Latvian territory The second stage of China’s Zhuque-3 rocket, 13 meters long and weighing about 11 tons, is expected to re-enter Earth’s atmosphere today and fall uncontrollably, with Latvia in the projected impact zone. Lithuania’s air navigation services stated that the country is prepared to respond if needed, including by restricting air traffic and rerouting flights. It is unclear how much of the rocket will burn up during re-entry. Given its size and mass, experts warn of potential risks, especially to air traffic in the possible impact area. The debris trajectory may change, with southern Denmark, all Baltic states, and Poland at risk, though it could also fall into the sea.
