Debris from a massive Chinese rocket fell back to Earth on Saturday over the Indian Ocean. 
 
The US Space Command said that the Long March 5B rocket re-entered over the Indian Ocean as it referred further details to the Chinese government.  
 
News agency Reuters reported that NASA said Beijing had not shared the “specific trajectory information” needed to know where possible debris might fall.  

China’s spaceflight agency said that wreckage of the 23-metric-ton Long March 5B hit Earth over the sea in the southwestern Philippines with the “vast majority” of the debris burning up upon reentry.
