Another Earthquake Jolts Northeastern Iran

Compiled From Wire Services

A magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck northeastern Iran on Monday, destroying houses left standing after last month’s devastating quake, Iranian radio said.

There were no reports of casualties.

The quake jolted northeastern Khorasan province, which was struck by a 7.1 magnitude quake in May which killed more than 2,400 people and left 60,000 homeless.

Iranian radio said houses were destroyed Monday but did not provide figures.
