TEHRAN, Iran — A magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck northwestern Iran early Friday, killing at least five people and injuring 120 others, officials said.
The temblor struck Tark county in Iran’s Eastern Azerbaijan province at 2:17 a.m. local time, Iran’s seismological center said. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake’s epicenter was at a depth of 10 kilometers . Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more damage.
