At least 76 people were wounded on Wednesday in an earthquake that rattled southwestern Iran, state media reported.
The 5.3 magnitude earthquake struck just after 8:30 a.m. local time (0408 GMT) in the city of Sisakht, the National Earthquake Information Center said.
State media said it caused extensive damage to property in the city, around 160 km (100 miles) northwest of the city of Shiraz.
The town has a population of 10,000 and the quake sent panicked people rushing out to the streets. Footage showed cracks in the walls of buildings.
Iran is prone to near-daily earthquakes as it sits on major fault lines.
In November, a magnitude 7.2 quake hit western Iran, killing more than 600. In 2003, a magnitude 6.6 quake flattened the historic city of Bam, killing 26,000 people.
