Austin (US), Jun 19 (AP) An explosion occurred Wednesday night during a test of a SpaceX rocket in Texas, creating a dramatic fireball in the sky.
The incident involved the Starship, which SpaceX reported “experienced a major anomaly” around 11 pm while on the test stand as it prepared for its tenth flight test at Starbase, the company's launch site in southern Texas.
SpaceX ensured that a safety-clear area around the site was maintained throughout the operation and stated that all personnel are safe and accounted for.
The company, led by CEO Elon Musk, confirmed that there were no hazards posed to nearby communities and advised people not to approach the site.
SpaceX is collaborating with local officials to address the explosion. (AP)
