Part of channel(s): Meteorite falls in Russia (current event)The blast knocked out windows
Fragments of at least one meteorite fell in the Chelyabinsk region some 930 miles east of Moscow, causing flashes in the morning sky and sharp explosions, Russian officials said Friday.
The office of the governor of the region in the Ural Mountains said in a statement that many calls about injuries and damage to buildings had been received. But there were no immediate confirmed figures or specific reports on damage.
Reports conflicted on the event: A spokeswoman for Russia's Emergency Ministry, Irina Rossius, told The Associated Press that there was a meteor shower, but another ministry spokeswoman, Elena Smirnikh, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying it was a single meteorite.
The ministry said some fragments fell near the town of Satka, about 120 miles from the regional capital city of Chelyabinsk.

@Pothead420 I don't know if you've heard? There actually is a big (well, small by celestial standards) asteroid behind these little piddly ones.
Due to pass through our ring of satellites in about 7hrs time.

@MarlboroMan Fortunately, the asteroid you are referring to, 2012 DA14-AALK699 is coming from a completely different direction than this small meteorite. Also, many people don't realize that the earth is TINY in the solar system, and we are moving many thousands of miles every second through the cosmos. These are two different events entirely.
