A five-point-eight magnitude earthquake has struck Iran's southern province of Kerman.

There are no immediate reports of casualties.

It comes a day after a similar quake shook Iran's northeastern province of Khorasan Razavi, injuring 274 people.

Fearing aftershocks, many people are reportedly spending the night outdoors in the city's parks.
