An earthquake with a magnitude of 6.3 has struck western Iran close to the border of Iraq, leaving at least 10 people injured.

The tremors were felt in at least seven provinces in Iran and was strongest in Kermanshah.

Pirhossein Koulivand, head of the Iranian emergency services, told state TV: 'No reports of any fatalities (have been reported) yet and most of the injured were hurt while fleeing, not due to quake damage.'

Footage and photos of the incident show damage to buildings and terrified locals gathering in the streets following the tremors. 

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake occurred at a depth of 65 km (40 miles) and struck 114 km northwest of the city of Ilam.

Ali Moradi, head of Iran's seismology centre, told state TV: 'Fortunately, the quake was not near bigger cities. But it might have caused damage in villages and I hope not that many villages are located where it hit.'

Morteza Salimi of Iran's Red Crescent told state TV that the area had been reconstructed after an earthquake last year.

In November, the earthquake, with a magnitude of 7.3, hit western Kermanshah province, killing at least 620 people and injuring thousands mainly at Sarpol-e Zahab town.

Iran sits astride major fault lines and is prone to frequent tremors. In 2003, a quake of a magnitude of 6.6 in Kerman province killed 31,000 people and flattened the historic city of Bam.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
