Wait, there's more: a similar behavior was observed after Changzheng-6A launch with Yunhai-3 satellite, on November 11th, 2022: as of today, after two years, there are over 790 objects tracked, spreading from 200 km to 1600 km altitude.

There are still over 680 objects tracked from the second stage (disintegration?) of Changzheng-6A launch from August 6th, 2024; the launch carried Qianfan Jigui 01 satellite to orbit.

Will Landspace’s Zhuque-2 be the first methane fueled rocket to reach orbit, beating SpaceX’s Starship and ULA’s Vulcan? Plenty of times for bets, since the next launch is scheduled for July 12 (the first Zhuque-2 launch failed after issued with its second stage).
