Rockets fired from Syrian side hit SE Turkey, 10 wounded

Two Rockets fired from Syria hit southeastern Turkish border province of Kilis on Sunday, injuring at least 10 locals, Dogan News Agency reported.

The two rockets fired from the Islamic State (IS) controlled region in northern Syria hit the central Demirciler neighborhood, the report said.

Kilis has been repeatedly attacked by rockets fired from IS controlled region in northern Syria.

On Friday, three people were killed and six others wounded when rockets fired from Syria hit Kilis on April 22.

IS militants, over the past few weeks, have repeatedly fired rockets at the town in the southeast of the country, where many of the 2.7 million Syrian refugees Turkey now hosts concentrate.

In response, Turkey returned each of these strikes on Kilis with howitzer fire to neutralize the launching positions of the militants.

On Saturday, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu vowed that hid country "will respond with force" to attacks on its territory.
