The Russian city of Chelyabinsk was rocked today as it was hit by what appears to have been a meteorite weighing up to 11 tons.

At least 400 people have been reported injured, and the photos from the scene paint a crazy picture.

Given the abundance of mobile phones and dash-cams in Russia, the meteor and its aftermath is extremely well documented.

A huge streak could be seen across the sky on Friday morning.

The city of Chelyabinsk is some 930 miles east of Moscow.
