As JAXA was testing an Epsilon-S 2nd Stage solid rocket motor (SRM), an anomaly occured just around 1 minute into the burn. The explosion appeared to cause some damage to the testing area, and a complete loss of the motor.
All press and photographers were far away, no one was injured in this anomaly.
