A powerful earthquake has hit Iran, leaving at least one dead.
The quake hit the city of Kermanshah, which is close to the Iraqi border. It was followed by two aftershocks above 3.0 on the Richter scale.
According to the Tasnim news agency in Iran, 58 people have also been injured.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported that a shallow, magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck about 55 miles (88 km) west-northwest of Kermanshah.
The quake was felt as far away as Baghdad, according to Iraqi state television. Pictures shared on social media show major damage to buildings.
Last November, a 7.3 magnitude quake struck villages and towns in Kermansheh province along the mountainous border with Iraq, killing at least 530 people and injuring thousands of others.
It was Iran's deadliest earthquake in more than a decade.
The latest quake comes amid fears of a so-called 'megaquake' after the planet was shaken by 144 earthquakes in the past seven days, including a 7.3 magniture earthquake that hit Venezeula early last week.
Around 70 earthquakes are said to have hit the Ring of Fire, which is a horseshoe shaped area of volcanic arcs, volcanic belts and tectonic plates.
It stretches along a 25,000-mile arc from South America to Australia via the western United States and East Asia and it's where most of the world's earthquakes happen as tectonic plates push against each other, causing tremors.
