230 people were injured in an earthquake in Iran, RIA Novosti reports.
Earlier reports said 36 were injured.
The City of Nishapur in the north-eastern part of Iran was hit by an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.6. The US Geological Survey says that the earthquake center was 11 km north-east of Nishapur 10.5 km deep.
Iran is one of the top 10 seismologically-risky places of the world. An earthquake with a magnitude of over 7.0 happens once in every ten years. The earthquake in Bam, south-east of Iran, in December 2003 killed over 31,000 people and injured about 42,000. The Ancient City of Bam and its fortress were destroyed.
