According to:

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21482252

     Debris also reportedly fell on the west Siberian region of
     Tyumen.

     Governor Yurevich reported that a meteorite had landed in
     a lake 1km outside Chebarkul, which has a population of 46,000.

     A Russian army spokesman said a crater 6m (20ft) wide had
     been found on the shore of the lake.

A map on this page shows Tyumen several hundred km to the north-west of
Chelyabinsk.

There's a substantial Wikipedia page:

   Three impact sites were found. Two were in an area near Chebarkul
   Lake and the other is some 80 kilometres (50 miles) further to the
   northwest, near the town of Zlatoust. One of the fragments that
   struck near Chebarkul left a crater with a diameter of six metres
   (20 feet). A hole was found by a local fisherman on the surface of
   the frozen Chebarkul Lake, probably a result of the impact. In
   Kazakhstan, emergency officials said they were looking for two
   possible unidentified objects that may have landed in Aktobe
   Province, Kazakhstan, adjacent to the affected Russian regions.
   The energy released was big enough to register as a seismic
   event.
