The missile that escaped from China recently hit the Indian Ocean, especially in the waters of the Maldives, according to Chinese media.
The Long March satellite lost control earlier this week and was traveling at a speed of 27,000 km per hour.
Most governments in the world, especially in Africa, have in recent days expressed fears that it could fall in Africa and cause serious havoc and mass casualties.
A statement from the Chinese government said the missile was destroyed without causing any damage and that this had allayed fears from many countries around the world.
