No casualties were reported. The quake was also felt on the Gulf island of Kish but did not give further details. The U.S. Geological Survey said earlier the moderate 6.5 quake jolted Iran’s southern coast late Tuesday. The quake struck at 1938 GMT some 160 kilometers (100 miles) south of Jahrom and 975 kilometers (610 miles) southeast of the capital Tehran, at a depth of 10 kilometers, it said. The USGS did not report any damage or injuries from the quake. Iran, including the capital Tehran, sits astride several major fault lines in the earth’s crust, and is prone to frequent quakes, many of which have been devastating.
