More information:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.livescience.com&#x2F;chinese-long-march-rocket-uncontrolled-reentry-2021.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.livescience.com&#x2F;chinese-long-march-rocket-uncont...</a><p>The reentry is uncontrolled by design:<p>&quot;This, sadly, wouldn&#x27;t be the first time. In May 2020, a Long March 5B rocket slammed through the atmosphere, partially burning up on its descent, Live Science previously reported. The core fell largely into the Atlantic Ocean, but some debris landed in West Africa. According to the South China Morning Post, some chunks of debris crashed into inhabited villages in Côte d&#x27;Ivoire, though thankfully no casualties were reported.&quot;

If a payload falls in the forest, and nobody is around to die from it, does it cause an international incident?
