An earthquake in the southern Russian republic of Chechnya has killed at least 13 people and injured more than 100 more, officials said.


The magnitude 4.7 quake damaged roads, power supplies and communications across the Caucasus, and was felt as far away as Georgia and Armenia.


It was centred 40km east of the Chechen capital, Grozny, said the US Geological Institute.


A rescue team has been sent from Moscow to co-ordinate the relief effort.
