• That is two launches in one day for KZ-1A!
• #4 by Galactic Penguin SST on 06 Dec, 2019 15:45
• There are reports that the 2nd of the double flights tomorrow isn't Xingyun-2, but something else (ones says they are from the same company that operates HEAD-1, for a total of 6 satellites).
  
  This is unconfirmed though (neither launches are really publicly announced as of right now), so just take a grain of salt right now until more info is available.

• SFF Page. Gives launch at 8:50 UTC with a payload of six satellites. Says that Hede Aerospace, Tianyi Research Institute and Guodian Hi-Tech are the customers, launching two satellites each.

  Notams and the post by ExPace on weibo mentioning '1/2' are still up so considering it still a GO. https://m.weibo.cn/detail/4446831067302420
  
  Guessing they don't want to delete first launch articles should second fail.

  The launch occurred near sunset so people hundreds of kilometers away got to see a lightshow. This image was apparently taken in Beijing
