Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn earthquake measuring 5.5 magnitude has struck southern Iran, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ).
The epicenter in Firuzabad in the Fars province, is located some 200 kilometers (15 miles) from Bushehr, the home of Iran’s only operating nuclear power plant.
The quake hit at a depth of 10 km (6.2 miles), GFZ says.
A short while later, two slightly smaller earthquakes, measuring 4.8 and 4.9 on the Richter scale and with a depth of 10 km, are registered nearby.
Iran reported a substantial earthquake of 5.2 on the Richter scale earlier today in the city where a nuclear facility is located, Bushehr in southern Iran.
