This is the incredible moment debris from the launch of two Chinese satellites was spotted plunging to the Earth in a ball of flames.
In eyewitness video, a booster from a Long March 3B rocket appears to drop from the sky and explode in a residential area, creating a massive fireball.
The footage shows part of the launch rocket in flames light up the sky before a massive explosion appears on the horizon.
Soldiers rushed to the scene but there were no reports of casualties.
It comes hours after China sent twin satellites into space on a single carrier rocket as part of efforts to provide navigation and positioning services to more remote areas by the end of the year.
