Russia's space forces say fragments of its Mars probe Phobos-Grunt have crashed into the Pacific Ocean.

The Russian Federal Space Agency said the fragments came down over the Pacific on Sunday local time or roughly 2:45 a.m. Monday Korean time.

The probe is believed to have splashed down some 12-hundred-50 kilometers west of the island of Wellington off the coast of Chile after a failed mission to Mars.

Fragments of the unmanned spacecraft are fortunately known to have fallen in the ocean and no casualties or damage has been reported.

The probe was launched from Kazakhstan on November ninth to reach Phobos, a moon of Mars. However, the probe's boosters failed to fire and it became stuck in earth’s orbit before eventually falling into the Pacific.
