China's Tianzhou-9 cargo craft has re-entered the atmosphere in a controlled manner at 7:49 (Beijing Time) Thursday, according to the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
During the process, a small amount of debris that survived the ablation fell into the designated safe waters, said the CMSA.
Launched on July 15, 2025 from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the southern island province of Hainan, the Tianzhou-9 was loaded with supplies including astronaut consumables for in-orbit stay, propellant and application experiment equipment.
The Tianzhou-9 separated from the orbiting Tiangong space station combination on Wednesday and then entered its independent flight phase.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday dismissed reports that Israel was caught off guard by Washington's diplomatic moves toward Iran, saying that he is in near-daily contact with U.S. President Donald Trump to ensure full coordination.
"We are in continuous contact with our friends in the United States," Netanyahu said. "I speak with President Trump on an almost daily basis. My people and his people speak daily, including today," he said.
He added that he has a planned phone call with Trump again later Wednesday night.
Israel is "ready for all scenarios" in dealing with Iran, Netanyahu said, adding that Israel and the United States share the same goals, "with the most important goal being the removal of enriched material from Iran".
Israeli officials have voiced support for renewing attacks on Iran, claiming its nuclear capabilities and ballistic missile stockpiles remain a concern.
Earlier on Wednesday, Trump issued a fresh ultimatum, telling Iran to accept a deal to end the war or face a new wave of bombing "at a much higher level and intensity than it was before".
On the same day, Israel's military chief Eyal Zamir toured southern Lebanon following fresh Israeli airstrikes on Lebanese targets, telling commanders they face "no limits" in operations against Hezbollah.
Zamir also framed the fighting along the border as part of a broader regional campaign, saying Israel remained prepared for wider operations across the Middle East, including potential action against Iran.
"In Iran, we have an additional series of targets ready to be struck," he said. "We are on high alert to return to a powerful and broad campaign that will enable us to deepen our achievements and further weaken the Iranian government."
Despite Lebanese calls to halt the attacks and a fragile ceasefire that took effect last month, Israeli strikes have continued.
Israel on Wednesday evening launched its first airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs since a ceasefire with Lebanon took effect in mid-April, Lebanon's TV channel Al-Jadeed reported.
