7 Starlink satellites burned up in the higher atmosphere yesterday.
Unlike what some are saying, these are satellites that were already planned to re-enter ahead of the solar storm and were launched in 2020/2021.

#Starlink and other satellites burning up in the atmosphere has caused a lot of metal pollution. A Japanese company offers satellites made out of Magnolia wood, which incinerate completely, with only water vapour and CO2 residues. An experimental satellite was handed over to JAXA for launch in November. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-01456-z
