“This discovery underscores the challenges posed by space debris re-entering Earth’s atmosphere. We are committed to determining the object’s country of origin and ensuring the appropriate legal mechanisms under the Outer Space Treaty are followed,” Maj. Were explained.

Fortunately, no injuries or major property damage were reported. However, the incident highlights the growing issue of space debris resulting from increased satellite launches and rocket activity.

The Kenya Space Agency plans to release further details after completing its investigation, offering a reminder of the need for global cooperation in managing the risks associated with space exploration.
