More than 700 people have been injured in a 6.3-magnitude earthquake that struck western Iran on Sunday night, state television reports. Sunday night's earthquake struck near Sarpol-e Zahab in Iran's Kermanshah province, which suffered half of the casualties from last year's quake and where some still remain homeless. No fatalities have been reported so far, but Kermanshah province's deputy governor general was quoted by Fars news agency as saying that scores of people have been treated for injuries, mostly in the two cities of Sarpol-e-Zahab and Gilan-e-Gharb. Shallower earthquakes are more likely to cause broader levels of damage. Residents in the Iraqi capital Baghdad - about 175km away - and several other Iraqi provinces also felt Sunday's quake. In 2003, a 6.6-magnitude earthquake destroyed the historic city of Bam in the south-east of the country, killing 26,000 people.
