The explosion of the SpaceX Starship rocket over the Caribbean Islands forced flight delays and diversions and may have caused property damage below.

The U.S. FAA is investigating reports of SpaceX rocket debris landing in Turks and Caicos following an explosive Starship test. No injuries are reported, and authorities are collaborating with SpaceX to assess potential property damage.

The FAA grounded SpaceX's Starship pending an investigation into the failure that caused the rocket to break apart midflight. The regulator noted in a statement that it has received "reports of public property damage on Turks and Caicos" islands in the Caribbean.

The company says that “Starship flew within its designated launch corridor” and “any surviving pieces of debris would have fallen into the designated hazard area.” The falling debris put on a show in the evening sky over the Caribbean and was captured by several tourists who seemed both amazed and slightly anxious about what they were witnessing.

The United States on Friday grounded SpaceX's Starship and ordered Elon Musk's company to investigate why the spaceship spectacularly disintegrated in a fiery cascade over the Caribbean during its latest test mission.

The Supreme Court upheld on Friday a law banning TikTok in the United States on national security grounds if its Chinese parent company ByteDance does not sell it, putting the popular short-video app on track to go dark in just two days.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX found a likely cause for what’s to blame for his 400-foot-tall Starship breaking apart in space after launching from Texas — sending trails of flaming debris

SpaceX's Starship broke apart during liftoff, potentially due to a fire from leaking fuel. The spacecraft's debris fell near the Caribbean, prompting a comprehensive investigation. The incident underscores the challenges of spaceflight,

While the midair destruction of SpaceX's Starship rocket made for an unsuccessful flight test, it also created an amazing visual.

Officials in Turks and Caicos said on Friday that debris from a SpaceX rocket test, which ended in the rocket exploding, littered the Caribbean islands. There have been no reports of injuries.

The rocket company said the space vehicle came apart during its ascent. Videos posted to social media showed debris streaking through the sky.
