A Turkish drone has bombed the vicinity of Erbil in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, according to the German Press Agency on Saturday citing an Iraqi source.

The bombing targeted a “hideout of members of the Kurdistan Labor Party (PKK), early this morning, in the Sidekan sub-district of Soran in Erbil,” Iraqi media said quoting the source who spoke on condition of anonymity.

“The bombing was carried out by a drone,” added the source “but the magnitude of losses has not yet been identified.”

On Friday, fires broke out in the pastures of two villages in the Amadiya district, north of Dohuk, as a result of the bombing carried out by Turkish military helicopters," stated the agency.

Indonesian rescuers recovered 10 bodies after a landslide struck vehicles on a hilly road on the country’s main island of Java, police said Friday.
Torrential rains pushed mud, rocks and trees down the mountainside road on Thursday, burying a van with seven people aboard and a pickup truck with three traders and full of vegetables near Watu Lumpang, a resort area in East Java’s Mojokerto district, said local police chief Andi Yudha Pranata.
According to The Associated Press, Pranata said rescuers pulled out the body of the van’s driver late Thursday and his six family members, including three children, wife and parents, were retrieved on Friday, together with the bodies of the three traders.
Footage released by East Java’s Search and Rescue Agency showed the road covered by thick mud, rocks and uprooted trees.
Seasonal rains from about October to April frequently cause flooding and landslides in Indonesia, a vast archipelago of 17,000 islands where millions of people live in mountainous areas or near fertile flood plains.
