Chinese state media have reported that remnants of China's biggest rocket landed in the Indian Ocean on Sunday.
That puts an end to days of speculation over where the debris would hit, and anxiety of it possibly landing on human-populated areas.
CCTV said that most of the rocket was burnt up as it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere, before reportedly landing west of the Maldives.
The U.S. Space command confirmed its re-entry over the Arabian Peninsula, though it said it was unclear if the debris fell on land or water.
It also said it would not be releasing the exact site of impact.
The rocket - one of China's Long March 5 series - blasted off from China's Hainan Island at the end of April.
It's part of a series of missions that will shuttle material or possible crew from Earth to space, in order to build a permanent Chinese space station by 2022.

That’s because the American military doesn’t want the Chinese and other potential adversaries to know the degree of precision of our satellite tracking capabilities.
But the ChiComs don’t have to worry — someone on Biden’s team will let them know. Perhaps by letting Loose Lips John Kerry know.
If it had fallen on someone’s home, could they sue China?
1950s and 1960s: The FBI believes there is a spy giving sensitive classified information to the Communists abroad.
2021: All over DC the Dems are giving all the help to fellow Marxists they can possibly give to undermine the United States.
Until Biden signs an executive order stating you cannot sue for anything "made in China." China can sue the homeowner for damaging the rocket when it hit.
While in the Navy (1980) my ship sailed through the Indian Ocean en route to a refueling spot called Diego Garcia.
That ocean is emmense. Nothing but sky and water for days at a time. Not even s bird.
I agree. The ocean is large beyond our comprehension.
Over 70% of the earth’s surface if memory serves. Add in the great uninhabited or sparsely populated wilderness and it was hard to understand what all the hubbub was about.
The only place where the ocean circles the world unimpeded.
“what all the hubbub was about.?
You won’t care if the missile remains land on your house?
Come’on man, you can’t be serious?
What about that spybanger congressman from CA. Keep him far away from any info regarding the China rocket.
I liked my odds for this one......
