The rockets hit the center of the town of Kilis at around 0545 GMT, the Dogan news agency reported. Ambulances were sent to the scene as police threw a security cordon around the area. Dogan said one of the rockets hit a building used by Syrian refugees and two of those maimed were Syrian citizens. Another person was maimed by the second rocket and police also evacuated a school nearby. Pictures broadcast by Turkish television showed the rockets had badly damaged masonry and windows on one building. Kilis, where according to Turkish officials Syrian refugees now outnumber the native Turkish population, has been hit several times by ISIS fire. |
