Iran quake injures more than 600, but no deaths reported

DUBAI - A magnitude 6.3 earthquake on Iran's western border with Iraq injured more than 600 people, most suffering minor wounds, state television said on Monday, but no fatalities had been reported.

The Sunday night earthquake was felt in at least seven provinces of Iran, but most strongly in Kermanshah, where last year more than 600 people were killed and thousands injured in Iran's deadliest earthquake in more than a decade.

"The number of wounded people has reached 646 ... Most of them were not hospitalized because of the slight injuries," TV quoted officials as saying.
