Hundreds
of people have been injured and at least two have died after a
powerful 6.1 earthquake struck western Iran, near the border with
Iraq.
The
quake struck some 31 kilometers from Javanrud, Kermanshah province,
at a depth of 10 kilometers, USGS reports. There were no immediate
reports of major damage, but the powerful jolt was reportedly felt as
far as the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
At
least two people have died and another 241 people have been injured
in the earthquake, the Emergency Department said, according to Fars
news agency.
A
number of people suffered injuries in the quake and were rushed to
hospital in Javanrud, Press TV reports.

Unverified
photos of the aftermath have been circulated on social media,
although witnesses have warned that some of them might have been
taken during last year’s deadly quake.
