| Mortar Shells Hit Turkish Border Town, Three Hurt |
| 2014-10-01 |
| At least three people were injured after a mortar shell fell on a house in the southeastern Turkish town of Suruc on Sunday, according to the state-run Anadolu Agency reporters in the area. A total of three mortar shells struck Suruc, which is just kilometers from the Syrian border. The two other shells landed in a vacant field. The three people injured are currently being treated in Suruc State Hospital. Turkish border security force artillery retaliated in kind. It is unclear who fired the initial mortar rounds. The incident comes as clashes between Kurdish groups and the so-called 'Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant' (ISIL) militants intensified Sunday around the Kurdish-populated city of Kobani in Syria, just kilometers from the Turkish border. |
