Jiuquan: A Chinese satellite launch mission using a CERES-1 commercial carrier rocket failed at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in northwest China. The rocket was tasked with carrying the JXGF-04C satellite, along with two other satellites.

According to Emirates News Agency, the rocket blasted off at 12:02 pm (Beijing Time) but experienced an anomaly during flight. This resulted in the satellites failing to reach their preset orbits. The specific cause of the failure is currently being analysed and investigated.
