From MPML (Minor Planets Mailing List)
Looks like the new CNEOS page has kept much more up to date- just 7 hours ago a bolide traveling 14.6 km/s fell over the northern parts of China's Yunnan province, near the northern border of Myanmar!

They estimate a radiated energy around 192 gigajoules, the making it the most energetic "impact" in several months after the 2017/06/20 event, and the most energetic "impact" over land in over a year since the 2016/06/27 event over Mauritania!

It's the middle of the night in China, so unsurprisingly I haven't been able to find any photos or new sources on it, but expect the news to catch on in a few hours! This is the largest impact over china since the 2000/12/15 event, and will definitely merit attention in one way or another.

The event occurs at about 8 pm local time, and because it was a holiday in China (mid-autumn day of which there is a tradition of moon-gazing) there are a lot of witnesses. There are also reports about ground shaking after the flash.
  Unfortunately the area is quite mountainous, so meteorite search would be difficult.

  Gilgit/Ghizer/Islamabad: A speeding ’huge’ meteor flying low over the Gilgit and Ghizer Districts of Gilgit-Baltistan has spread fears among the locals.
  At around 9 PM locals in the Gilgit, Ghizer and neighboring Diamer district heard a huge blast and flash of lights in the sky. The sound of the blast created fear among the residents of hundreds of villages and towns who came out to know what had happened. Many hundreds posted updates on Facebook and other social media platforms.
  Security in the region has been beefed up due to terror threats, and the on-going census. The blast caused by the meteorite was perceived by many as a sign of terrorist attack. Worried people started speculating about the nature of the blast and the flashes.
  “I saw a huge sound a very fast moving light crossing the sky”, said Rana Mehtab Alam, while commenting on Pamir Times’ Facebook page, where the readers have been asked to share their experiences.
  “I also saw the bright light spread allover the sky for a duration of 15 secs I think,but didn’t hear any sound”, Ilyas Bari, a resident of Hunza has said.
   “During a bike ride I saw red & yellowish stars or something else moving fastly in the sky then disappeared. This was much nearer to the earth which lightened the all city”, said Arbab Musaweer Alam Khan, while commenting on our Facebook page.

  People from Haripur and Islamabad and Haripur have also reported seeing a bright object flying fast across the sky towards north.
  The Information Department of Gilgit-Batlistan has said that the explosion and flashes were caused by a huge meteor crossing the sky over the Ghizer and Gilgit District.
