Magnitude 6.3 earthquake strikes western Iran
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA magnitude 6.3 earthquake strikes western Iran near its border with Iraq, the same area where another temblor last year killed over 600 people. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
The latest earthquake occurs near Sarpol-e Zahab in Iran’s Kermanshah province, which suffered half of the casualties from last year’s quake and where some still remain homeless.
State television in Iran reports the quake, saying it had a magnitude of 6.4. Varying magnitudes are common in the immediate aftermath of a temblor. The earthquake had a depth of 10 kilometers, making it very shallow. Shallow earthquakes have broader damage.
The earthquake was felt as far away as the Iraqi capital of Baghdad.
