Hundreds killed as border region hit
A 7.3-magnitude earthquake has shaken the northern border region between Iran and Iraq, killing at least 387 people and injuring thousands more.
More than 7,000 people are also said to have been injured in the quake, the world's deadliest this year.
Most of those who died were in Iran's western Kermanshah province, where a search for survivors has started.
Nine more people died in Iraq, where residents fled from their homes into the streets in the capital, Baghdad.
Most of the victims were in the town of Sarpol-e Zahab, about 15km (10 miles) from the border, emergency services chief Pir Hossein Koolivand said
