The blast, which occurred in December over the Bering Sea, went largely unnoticed due to its remote location.

This probably happens a lot more than we realize. The earth is ~70% water-covered, most of humanity lives in small areas called cities, and we aren't watching everywhere.

I guess the reason we notice more that occur over the Russian landmass is that the Russian territory is so vast.  If a Chelyabinsk strength object detonated over Manhattan, it could kill people and cause millions in damage. Not to mention adding hundreds of thousands in extra sales of laundry detergent

 A worldwide chart of sizable meteorite impacts is included in the complete BBC News article.  Judging by this, the Center for Near Earth Object Studies, a part of NASA, has a pretty good network of sensors for detecting these strikes, wherever in the world they may happen, even over the oceans, and remote land areas.
