ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Two members of a family in northern Duhok province who had previously been hospitalized with health problems after exposure to a possible chemical compound following a suspected Turkish airstrike, have been rushed to hospital again on Sunday after bombs fell near their house.
Three bombs fell near the home of Abdullah Hassan in Hirore village, the head of the village Azad Adeeb told Rudaw's Yousef Musa. Hassan and his daughter Zhiman were given oxygen and taken to hospital in an ambulance.
The cause of their illness is not yet known, said Sarbast Akreyi, mayor of the Kani Masi sub-district.
The family was hospitalized earlier this month after another bombardment.

Turkey launched twin operations against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in late April, using fighter jets, drones, and artillery to pound alleged PKK positions in northern Duhok province. Hirore has been on the frontline of the conflict.
The PKK is an armed group fighting for the increased rights of Kurds in Turkey. Ankara considers it a terrorist organization and frequently targets its positions in the Kurdistan Region.
