Turkey has once again fired artillery into Syria at Islamic State (ISIS) positions in retaliation for a projectile attack on Turkey's southeastern province of Kilis. Three people were wounded on Thursday when two Katyusha rocket projectiles emanating from Syria's Bab region hit two neighbourhoods in central Kilis. One of the rockets struck a house occupied by Syrian refugees wounding two, the other crashed into a road wounding one. The Turkish military used the traces left by the projectiles to return fire with artillery bombardments over the border according to military officials cited by Hurriyet news. The wounded have been transferred to hospital. This has been the third significant cross-border rocket attack into Turkey by ISIS this year. The first was in January 18 and the second on March 8. On both occasions Turkey retaliated using artillery. Also on Thursday the Turkish military bombed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKk) targets near the border with Iraq hitting caves and other targets they believe to be connected to the group in that rural area.
