Russia's space agency says an unmanned cargo space ship that blasted off to the International Space Station has crashed due to an unspecified malfunction.
Roscosmos says in a statement Thursday that the Progress MS-04 cargo craft crashed at the altitude of 190 kilometers (118 miles) over the remote Russian Tyva region that borders Mongolia. It says most of the space ship's debris burnt as it entered the atmosphere.

an unmanned cargo space ship that blasted off to the International Space Station has crashed due to an unspecified malfunction. I'm gonna take a wild stab at this and say that gravity had a lot to do with it.

Must have hit a really tall mountain to have crashed at 190 km above Russia.

The cargo ship apparently not able to stop at the space station. It couldn’t find a parking meteor.

... Crashed? Into what at 119 miles up? The atmosphere. Hit it at the wrong angle, fast enough, and it might as well be a brick wall.
