International desk:  A strong earthquake of magnitude 5.9 has hit the border between Turkey and Iran. The tremor was felt in the border areas of the two countries on Saturday. Three people were killed and more than 300 people were injured in the incident. This information was reported by the news agency Reuters on Sunday. 

State news agency IRNA reported the number, citing the head of emergency services at the university in Khoi, a city near the epicenter. Areas hit by the earthquake were covered in snow and without power, state television reported. Geologically, Iran is in an earthquake-prone area, so earthquakes have hit Iran several times in the past few years.
