More than 190 people were killed as a huge earthquake struck a mountainous region of southeast Iran, amid fears the final death toll could rise into the hundreds. The worst hit village appeared to be Dahuyeh, which has a population of 820 and was "destroyed 100 percent", according to Ali Komsari, a spokesman for the local government in Kerman province. Villagers were buried alive in Dahuyeh's mosque when the quake struck during pre-dawn prayers, natural disaster services official Mohammad Javad Fadaie told state media on Tuesday.
