A Chinese private company’s space rocket crashed and exploded near a city after an accidental launch during a test.

The Tianlong-3 rocket’s first stage departed from its launch pad due to a structural failure, according to Beijing Tianbing, also known as Space Pioneer.

The incident occurred in Gongyi, central China, where the rocket landed in a hilly area.

Video footage showed the rocket ascending vertically, losing power, tilting horizontally, and crashing back to earth, igniting flames in nearby forested hills, The Guardian has reported.

Fortunately, there were no reported casualties from the unplanned flight, though parts of the rocket caused a local fire.
