7.8 Earthquake hits Iran

[Benjamin]

A magnitude 7.8 earthquake has struck south-east Iran, the US Geological Survey (USGS) reports.

The epicentre of the huge quake was 86km (53 miles) from the city of Khash, near Pakistan's border.

Tremors have been felt across the Gulf and the Middle East. Tall buildings swayed in the Indian capital Delhi, reports say.

At least 37 people were killed and 850 wounded in a 6.3 magnitude quake in south-west Iran on 10 April.
