That will make 4 orbital launches + 1 EVA (and perhaps 1 sounding rocket launch + 1 static fire) all within a 6 hours period. (!)
-
To be launched into Plane A, probably to positions A2 and A3.
-
Yes, the launcht time is on Plane A. Here are M3, M4, M1-S, M2-S, MEO-7, MEO-8.
Maybe MEO-9 and MEO-10?

It's launch time! Waiting for news from Xichang!
-
A user on 9ifly Chinese space forum, is saying that the launch already took place. It is better to wait for another news source.
-
OK finally found someone posting a photo of the launch (https://www.weibo.com/3279752321/G9GiKb16l?from=page_1005053279752321_profile&wvr=6&mod=weibotime&type=comment#_rnd1522347272091) so it did took place. Perhaps it was too quiet this time to wake up people. ;)
As usual official confirmation will be after spacecraft separations in a few hours time.

Well it looks like the Chinese Academy of Sciences made the satellites, which would make them M9 & M10 instead of M5 & M6 (confirmation pending)..... :-X
