Japan’s Space One experienced a setback during its maiden flight when the small rocket it launched exploded shortly after take-off, as shown in a video released on Wednesday. The four-stage solid-fuel rocket, measuring 18 metres (59 feet), detonated mere seconds post lift-off, which was scheduled just after 11:01 am. The explosion resulted in a large cloud of smoke, a fire, and scattered rocket fragments near the launch pad, accompanied by firefighting water sprays. The cause of the explosion remains unknown, and there is no immediate information about any potential injuries. China Restaurant Blast Video: Several Feared Dead After Massive Explosion at Eatery in Yanjiao.
