One person has died of a heart attack and at least 56 people are injured after a 4.2 magnitude earthquake struck 50km west of Tehran, according to state media.
Most of the injured were trying to escape buildings and were released from the hospital after treatment, Iran’s Emergency Medical Services said.
The earthquake is an aftershock of a bigger 5.2 magnitude quake that struck on 20 December, leaving two people dead. Tremors were also felt in the capital, where many residents spent the night in cars, sports centers and other buildings turned into rescue centers, local media reported.
