TEHRAN, Iran – Iranian state TV reported that two moderate earthquakes hit the southern Iranian province of Hormozgan on Saturday evening.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, according to the state-run IRNA news agency, but the earthquakes, after sunset, caused people to rush into the streets as several aftershocks shook the area.

The TV report stated that first, a 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck just after 8 p.m. at a depth of about six miles. The second earthquake, measuring 5.8 on the Richter scale, occurred two minutes later, at a depth of 5.5 miles.

The two earthquakes are located near the city of Bandar Khmer, 620 miles south of the capital, Tehran.

The region is located along the Iranian coast, near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a passage for nearly a third of the oil traded by sea. It has experienced several moderate earthquakes in recent weeks.

And earlier this month, a 6.2-magnitude earthquake killed five people and injured 44 others in the same county. And in November, two earthquakes of magnitude 6.4 and 6.3 killed one man.

Iran lies on large seismic fault lines and experiences an average of one earthquake per day. In 2003, a 6.6-magnitude earthquake flattened the historic city of Bam, killing 26,000 people. A magnitude 7 earthquake struck western Iran in 2017, killing more than 600 people and injuring more than 9,000.
