There is a maritime navigation warning about rocket wreckage from Hainan MSA China, though there is no any NOTAM for this launch, only one past CZ-6A has overrded drop zone...

TSLC tours have been advertising for a  launch in early June "shortly after the dragon boat festival" for a couple weeks so it’d fit.

The drop zones are similar as past, so the payloads might be Qianfan Jigui series...

At 04:45 on June 6, 2025, Beijing time, my country successfully launched the satellite Internet low-orbit 04 satellites at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center using the Long March 6 modified carrier rocket. The satellites successfully entered the predetermined orbit and the launch mission was a complete success.

This mission is the 580th flight of the Long March series of carrier rockets.

This was Guowang,  not qianfan!

Only 5 stars on the launch mission patch seems to indicate only 5 satellites on board:

The satellites successfully entered the predetermined orbit and the launch mission was a complete success. The satellite Internet low-orbit 04 satellites were developed by the Shanghai Microsatellite Engineering Center.

This mission is the 67th satellite launch mission of the Shanghai Microsatellite Engineering Center. So far, 173 satellites covering communications, navigation, remote sensing, science, micro-nano and other fields have been successfully launched.

The satellite Internet low-orbit 04 group satellites use Ka and other frequency band payloads, mainly providing users with broadband communication, Internet access and other services.
