<p>A magnitude 6.5 earthquake has struck south-eastern Iran, killing at least six people and injuring 21 others, Iranian state TV reported.</p>
<p>The report said the strong quake hit Hosseinabad, a small town of a few hundred residents in a sparsely populated region of south-eastern Iran.</p>
<p>The area is not far from the historical city of Bam, site of a devastating 2003 earthquake of similar strength that killed more than 26,000 people.</p>
<p>Telephone contacts to the stricken area have been cut off, and rescue teams were dispatched to the area, the TV reported.</p>
<p>The report said the epicentre was at a depth of three miles, about 60 miles from Bam.</p>
<p>A senior government official, Javad Kamali, was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying that the quake also caused serious damage to buildings and the infrastructure of the region.</p>
<p>Kamali said relief teams have been dispatched to the stricken areas.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are efforts under way to reopen some hard-to-reach roads blocked by the quake,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Even moderate quakes have killed thousands of people in the past in the Iranian countryside, where houses are often built of earthen bricks.</p>
<p>Iran is located on seismic fault lines and is prone to earthquakes. It experiences at least one slight earthquake every day on average.</p>
