"A meteorite disintegrated above the Urals, partially burning up in the lower atmosphere," the local office of the national emergencies ministry said in a statement.
"Fragments of the meteorite reached Earth, falling in sparsely populated areas in the Chelyabinsk region," it said.
"According to preliminary information, four people have been injured by flying glass."

The statement said "numerous calls of panic" had been received.
Reuters reported that a powerful blast had rocked the Urals region with bright objects falling from the sky.

Does this meteor have anything to do with the meteor that NASA promised would come no where near the earth?

-PB Probably like this... Article wrote:Russian nationalist lawmaker Vladimir Zhirinovsky, long known for his flamboyance and outrageous remarks, said Friday that meteorite fragments had not rained down on Russia in the morning, but that the light flashes and tremors in several of the country’s regions resulted from US weapons tests, APA reports quoting RIA Novosti.
“Those aren’t meteors falling, it’s the Americans testing new weapons,” Zhirinovsky, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, told journalists several hours after the Emergencies Ministry began issuing statements on the incident, which has injured hundreds and damaged scores of buildings.

Thats pretty fucking terrifying! Passing through the satellite field is scarier, the moon is actually pretty far away comparatively.
