|  | At least 21 people have been killed and hundreds hurt after several earthquakes in western Iran, state media says.
The quakes, with magnitudes of up to six, centred on
remote villages between the industrial towns of Doroud and Boroujerd in
the province of Lorestan.
Eyewitnesses in Doroud said the quakes, which happened in the middle of the night, caused panic among residents.
Doroud's governor told IRNA news agency that buildings in rural areas had been damaged and power lines cut.
As many as 40 villages were thought to have been damaged by the quakes, some severely, local TV reported.
Iran straddles a major geological fault line and is regularly struck by powerful earthquakes.
Some 40,000 people died when the ancient city of Bam was levelled by an earthquake in December 2003.
Another powerful quake hit Kerman in southern Iran in November 2004, killing 400. | |
