Fourteen people were killed on Sunday when a bus hit by a falling rock, triggered by a landslide, plunged off a road in an earthquake-devastated region in Pakistan, police said. The huge rock struck the bus just 2 km (1 mile) short of Balakot, a town flattened by last year's deadly earthquake. "Fourteen people died on the spot and four people, including two children, have been injured," Khalid Khan, a deputy superintendent of police, in Balakot told Reuters. Landslides are common in mountainous northern Pakistan where more than 73,000 people were killed and around 3 million left homeless by an Oct. 8 earthquake.
