It said the quake, which occurred late Friday, jolted the cities of Baneh in Kurdistan province, Sardasht, Piranshahr, Oshnaviyeh and Mahabad in West Azerbaijan province. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties from the quake, which also shook parts of northern Iraq, the agency said. A 5.3 magnitude earthquake can cause considerable damage in populated areas. Iran is prone to earthquakes and experiences thousands of small tremors every year. © Copyright 1999 The Associated Press This could be interesting.
