Meteor over Russian City - First Injuries?

Meteor injures more than 980 in Russian city

We had a more famous one out in Siberia but is this the first in-air explosion/sonic boom with recorded injuries in contemporary history (I mean affecting mankind directly with death or injuries)?

I know we’ve had some individuals struck by meteorites.
Bonus questions:
Any conspiricy theories yet? (too soon?)
Farmers Insurance covers space junk - how about sonic booms/shock waves from meteor passages/explosions?

Too late to edit, one CT already in the article.
