At least two people have been killed and as many as 400 other injured as a 5.7-Richter scale earthquake rocked northeastern Iran, Press TV reports.
The quake struck late on Saturday, in North Khorasan Province’s capital Bojnourd at a depth of eleven kilometers.
Search and rescue teams, including Red Crescent relief workers, have been dispatched to the region and are currently attending to the injured and searching for survivors.
