Will 'city destroyer' asteroid YR4 hit India? Here are the countries that are under radar

Firstpost  

While the YR4 is not even close to the size of the “planet-killer” asteroid that slammed into Earth 66 million years ago, it can still cause regional destruction if it hits the Earth. Here’s a look at what are the countries NASA thinks the space rock could potentially hit An asteroid measuring approximately 40 to 100 meters wide is expected to pass very closely to Earth in December 2032. Given the path of the asteroid, NASA argued that the space rock would most likely hit somewhere across the eastern Pacific Ocean, northern South America, the Atlantic Ocean, Africa, the Arabian Sea, or South Asia. “At about 40m it could be something that would be like an air blast - it might shatter some windows - wouldn’t do too much damage,” space journalist Kate Arkless Gray told _Sky News.
