An #unidentified #object had fallen from #space and hit a #freighter that was traveling off the #coast of #Siberia, #seriously #injuring five crewmen. #Tokyo initially kept that #information a #secret , out of a desire to avoid provoking a conflict with #Moscow" https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/05/08/space-debris-crashes
