Iran, Nov 25: The US Geological Survey says a magnitude 6.3 earthquake has struck western Iran near its border with Iraq.

The earthquake Sunday night hit near Sarpol-e Zahab in Iran’s Kermanshah province.

State television in Iran reported the quake, saying it had magnitude of 6.4.

Right now, there’s no word on damage or injuries.

Varying magnitudes are common in the immediate aftermath of a temblor.

The earthquake was shallow, which can cause severe damage. It was felt as far as Baghdad, the Iraqi capital.

A November 2017 earthquake in the same area killed over 400 people.
