It is probably a scharpnel, part from something much bigger.
Or a bomb.

Agree. The speed at which a randomly shaped 11g object would have to strike the ground in order to be lethal AND rip a hole like that would require it to be travelling at a much higher speed than the terminal velocity it would reach by just falling (that's what most small meteorites that make it to the surface end up doing). It would have to start out as a pretty violent event in the upper atmosphere, or at the very least, something more people in such a heavily populated country should have noticed.
