Elon Musk confirmed the news on Twitter. Also, he provided his theories regarding the explosion.

Musk tweeted: “Looks like engine 2 had issues on ascent & didn’t reach operating chamber pressure during landing burn, but, in theory, it wasn’t needed.“

He added: “Something significant happened shortly after landing burn start. Should know what it was once we can examine the bits later today.”

John Insprucker, one of SpaceX major staff members, expressed that the process of launching the device was going well, but, suddenly signal was lost and a heavy fog appeared at the supposed location of landing.
