At least 25 people have been killed in northern Iraq in a collision involving a bus filled with vacationing families.

Iraqi police say the collision took place Saturday near Kirkuk, a city about 280 kilometers north of Baghdad.

Police say the bus caught fire after the crash and passengers were trapped inside. At least one person in the car was also killed.

Investigators say the bus was carrying travelers from Baghdad to the Kurdistan region.

In a separate development, EgyptAir flew direct flights into Iraq for the first time in 21 years.

Airline officials said 30 passenger flew from Cairo to Baghdad.

EgyptAir suspended flights to Iraq after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990.
