A meteorite touched down in Cuba around 1:15 p.m. on Friday, according to reports.


The National Weather Service in Key West, Florida, says it received reports that a meteor was seen in the sky across the Florida Keys and that it crashed in Western Cuba.

The meteorite ripped through the sky before exploding and raining debris on homes in Cuba, according to The Sun.

Locals in the town of Viñales reported hearing a loud explosion during the impact, according to a tweet from CNN’s Havana-based correspondent, Patrick Oppmann.

Oppmann shared a photo of pieces of the meteorite that reportedly struck a resident’s home on Twitter.

No injuries have been reported.
