a meteorite passed Minsk and fell near the town of Smalyavichy

Vysokiya Lyady (0.5-1 kg)," the planetarium reported
The planetarium asked local residents to be on the lookout for unusual stones of various sizes
The meteorite may have a black charred crust with cracks

The observatory specified that the meteorite should attract a magnet and be dense
