What happened
The earthquake hit late Sunday night with the epicenter in a rural area on the Iranian side of the border, just south of the Iraqi city of Halabja, according to the US Geological Survey, which tracks earthquake activity around the world.
The quake was at a depth of 23 km (just over 14 miles), which is considered shallow, according to the survey. It was felt across the region with aftershocks hitting Pakistan, Lebanon, Kuwait and Turkey, news agencies in those countries reported.
Iraq's Meteorological Organization issued a warning on Iraqi state TV urging citizens to stay away from buildings and to refrain from using elevators.171113092453-05-iraq-iran-earthquake-1113-large-169.jpg171113092250-03-iraq-iran-earthquake-1113-large-tease.jpg171113104309-18-iraq-iran-earthquake-1113-restricted-large-169.jpg
