A series of earthquakes with a magnitude of around 5,0 hit the Iran-Iraq border area this morning, an area where more than 530 people died in the November earthquake.
According to the latest information, seven earthquakes hit the border area in the morning hours, said US Geological Survey geophysicist Randy Baldwin.
He told the AP agency that such earthquakes were expected in that region after the magnitude 7,2 earthquake that occurred in November 2017.
The earthquake was also felt in Baghdad, and so far there are no reports of possible casualties or material damage.
The American Geological Institute previously announced that five earthquakes hit the area near the Iraqi city of Mandali, followed by another earthquake that hit Mehran in western Iran.
Iranian state television reported that people ran into the streets due to the earthquake.
A 7,3-magnitude earthquake that struck the same border area in November 2017 killed more than 530 people and injured more than 9.000.
