Given that the Kuaizhou-11 was labeled as "retired" earlier this year, is there is a possibility that the supposed retirement of the KZ-11 was just disinformation on part of someone at the office of the spaceflight division of CASIC and that the CNSA completed an investigation into why the first launch of the Kuaizhou-11 failed to reach orbit?

The 2nd drop zone is similar to Kuaizhou-11 Y1.

Any indication of the payload reaching orbit? If so, this would be the first successful Kuaizhou 11 launch.

It looks like the attitude control system is in the nose of the launch vehicle!
