DUBAI (Reuters) – A magnitude 5.3 earthquake hit western Iran on Sunday, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage, state television reported.
“Up to this moment, … we have not received any reports of casualties or damage,” Reza Mahmoudian, the head of the crisis management body in the affected province of Kermanshah, told state television.
A magnitude 7.3 earthquake in the same area in November killed at least 530 people and injured more than 8,000.
