No one hurt fortunately, it landed close to the capital. Some details on BBC News.

Wonder how big the meteorite was?

I wonder too.

To have made such a small crater implies a small-ish body, but a small stony body would have broken up long before impact, so I'm thinking an iron object, maybe no bigger than a football by the time it impacted.
