As per PhilSA report, the launch may cause the danger of falling rocket debris for ships, aircrafts, and other vehicles that will pass through the identified drop zones which are approximately 390 NM away from Sta. Ana, Cagayan and 217 NM kilometers from Cortes, Surigao Del Sur. Hence, the DA-BFAR, based on the recommendation of the PhilSA, advises all fishing vessels to stay away from the affected areas and avoid fishing and other offshore activities from 5:09-6:29 PM on May 24-31, 2023.
The PhilSA reported that the risk of untoward incidents and damage from falling rocket debris within the Philippine territory is relatively low. Nevertheless, coastal residents near the affected areas are advised to be on the lookout for floating debris that may wash ashore days, weeks, or even months after the launch.
