IS rockets fired from Syria kills 1 Turkey

Two cross-border Katyusha rockets fired by the militants of the Islamic State (IS) from Syria on Monday killed one person and injured two others in the southern Turkish border province of Kilis, the private Dogan News Agency reported.

One of the rockets hit Kazim Karabekir neighborhood of Kilis in the evening, causing a fire that burned a house close to the scene, said the report, adding that the fire was later put out.

Police, rescue teams and ambulances have been sent to the area, according to the report.

Kilis recently has been repeatedly hit by rockets fired from territory in northern Syria controlled by the IS group.

Turkish artillery and four drones of anti-IS coalition forces struck IS targets in northern Syria on Sunday, killing 34 of its members, the agency said.

Turkey has recently been on high alert as the country has been rocked by a series of suicide and car bomb attacks that claimed many lives and wounded hundreds more.
