Magnitude 5.7 quake jostles western Iran
An earthquake measuring 5.7 magnitude on the Richter scale has struck western Iran, the German Research Centre for Geosciences says.
The US Geological Survey locates the epicenter some 36 kilometers (22 miles) southwest of Masjed Soleyman, in the country’s Khuzestan province.
The quake was at a depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), both services say.
There are no immediate reports of injuries from the early morning temblor.
