Four people, including a police officer, were wounded after rockets fired from the territory under Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant's control hit the southeastern border province of Kilis early on May 5, Hurriyet Daily News reports. 

Two rockets were launched from Syria, causing damage to a number of buildings, including a high school and the Provincial Education Directorate. Another rocket was fired 20 minutes later. 

Police and ambulances were urgently sent to the area amid boosted security measures.

Meanwhile, the Turkish army said that four Islamic State militants were killed and the weapon launching sites from where the attack was conducted were destroyed. 

Turkey has been faced with a series of rocket attacks originating from ISIL-held Syrian territory since mid-January. A total of 20 people have been killed and many more have been wounded by rockets fired at the border province since January 18.
