Rescuers searched through the night in central Iran for survivors of the magnitude 6.4 magnitude earthquake that flattened buildings and forced residents to take shelter in tent cities.
Provincial officials told Iranian television that about 40 villages were affected, with seven more than 90 percent destroyed and 25 others more than half destroyed.
The governor of Zarand said his city was not heavily damaged. The quake killed 20 people there, and about 280 others were taken to hospitals, officials said.
