The explosion took place about a minute into the test of the second stage engine at a Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency testing site in Noshiro city in Akita prefecture, officials said. Footage showed flames shooting out the side of the test facility, before the small building was engulfed in flames and the roof blew off. No injuries were reported.
