Powerful earthquake jolts southern Iran

A teaser:

A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of at least 5.9 jolted southern Iran on Sunday, levelling at least four villages and killing at least 10 people.

Local authorities reported dozens were wounded in the temblor, which was felt as far away as Oman and the United Arab Emirates.

The earthquake struck the major port city of Bandar Abbas and the Pacific Gulf island of Qeshm, at about 10:00 GMT on Sunday.

Thankfully the death toll was quite low (10), but it is still sad peope had to die.
