Meteori udarili po RusijiCitat:
MOSCOW, February 15 (RIA Novosti) – A hail of meteor fragments has hit three regions of Russia, and neighboring Kazakhstan, Russian Emergencies Ministry officials confirmed on Friday morning.
As of mid-day, over 400 people had reported injuries as a result of the strikes. Most of the people hurt seem to be concentrated in the hard-hit Chelyabinsk Region.
An estimated 20,000 emergency response workers have been mobilized. Background radiation levels reportedly remain unchanged – an important consideration in an area with a fair number of nuclear facilities.
Reports vary about whether this was one larger meteorite, or many smaller ones.
“Verified information indicates that this was one meteorite which burned up as it approached Earth and disintegrated into smaller pieces” deputy head of the Russian Emergencies Ministry press office, Elena Smirnykh said.
