CNN geolocated the video to be filmed from Xianqiao village in Guizhou province, neighboring the launch site province of Sichuan to the southeast.
Other videos circulating on Chinese social media platforms analyzed by CNN showed multiple angles of the falling debris.
A screengrab taken from video shows suspected Chinese rocket debris falling over Xianqiao village, Guizhou Province, China, following a launch.
Before each launch, China’s civil aviation authority typically issues a notice to pilots, known as NOTAM, to warn them against the “temporary danger areas” where rocket debris are likely to be falling.
In 2002, a boy in northern China was injured when fragments from a satellite launch fell on his village in Shaanxi province.
