Central Russia Hit Bymeteor Shower In Ural region by sS2(m): 8:10am On Feb 15, 2013 |
A meteor shower in central Russia has caused some injuries and shattered windows, reports say. Brightly burning rocks could be seen for hundreds of kilometres as they crashed into the Ural region. Chelyabinsk residents reported shaking ground, windows being shattered and car alarms being set off during the shower. The traces from falling objects could be seen in Yekaterinburg, about 200km (125 miles) south- east of Chelyabinsk, a witness told the Reuters news agency. "A meteorite exploded above the Chelyabinsk region," an emergencies ministry spokesman told Interfax. A witness in Chelyabinsk told Reuters that a huge blast was heard early on Friday morning and that shockwaves were felt in a 19- storey building in the town centre. The Interfax news agency said that preliminary reports indicated that four people were injured by flying glass. People in the Chelyabinsk and Sverdlovsk regions reported seeing "burning objects" in the sky. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21468116
