B1086 was lost after landing: https://x.com/SpaceX/status/1896562823955947643

Falcon 9 launched 21 @Starlink satellites to orbit overnight. After stage separation, the first stage booster returned to Earth and landed on the Just Read the Instructions droneship, which was stationed in the Atlantic Ocean ~250 nautical miles off the coast of Florida.

Following the successful landing, an off-nominal fire in the aft end of the rocket damaged one of the booster's landing legs which resulted in it tipping over.

While disappointing to lose a rocket after a successful mission, the team will use the data to make Falcon even more reliable on ascent and landing.
