An unmanned Russian cargo spaceship has broken up in the atmosphere and crashed over Siberia en route to the International Space Station, according to Russia’s space agency. Roscosmos said on Thursday that the Progress MS-04 cargo craft broke up at an altitude of 118 miles (190km) above the remote Russian Tuva region in Siberia, which borders Mongolia. Most of the debris burned up as it entered the atmosphere before crashing over what the space agency said was an uninhabited area. It was the second failure of a Progress cargo craft in less than two years. After making their delivery, they plummet back to Earth, burning up in the atmosphere above the Pacific Ocean.
