Background
Warnings of this form typically indicate military or government rocket or missile firings requiring temporary exclusion of nearby sea areas due to risk of falling debris. Hainan province is a location from which such launches and exercises have been conducted. The circular shape and a radius of several nautical miles are consistent with a local launch danger area intended to keep surface traffic clear of the impact/debris zone. Mariners should treat this as a live launch exclusion and avoid the area during the stated times.
