Magnitude 6.3 earthquake hits western Iran

(CNN)At least 361 people were injured in a 6.3 magnitude earthquake that struck near the border with Iraq, Iran’s semi-official Fars News Agency reported.

Sunday’s quake in the western part of Iran was about 6 miles deep, the US Geological Survey said.
Buildings were damaged in various rural areas in SarPol-e zahab and Qasr-e-Shirin, causing walls of some homes to fall, says Fars.
