Iranian officials anticipate that the death toll will rise as emergency teams rush to rescue dozens of people who remain trapped beneath rubble in damaged areas. The most extensive damage in Iraq occurred in the town of Darbandikhan in the country's Kurdish region. Iran's western Kermanshah province experienced the worst damage in that country.
