Since it was not in the most recent Satevo Decay Report from Alan Pickup,
I wonder if it's a decay prediction or a deorbit "announcement"?  Here's 
the current elset from Alan's select.tle file:

Cosmos 2348                                      357 x 175 km
1 25095U 97080A   98001.56801548  .00388767  56942-5  18142-3 0   394
2 25095  67.1421 248.9236 0137432  72.3631 289.2509 16.03082819  2724

I don't remember having had a chance to see it yet.
