A 5.6-magnitude earthquake has rocked the Iranian island of Kish. The earthquake has so far left one person dead and dozens more injured.

A local official has said 31 people were admitted to a hospital on the island. But most of them received outpatient treatment.

The official added that four of those injured fell from high places when the quake hit the island.
