Four people were injured in a rocket attack when three projectiles, reportedly fired from Syria, landed in Turkey's southeastern border province of Kilis Thursday, according to local security sources.

    According to the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking with the media, one of the rockets hit a wall between a vocational high school and the provincial National Education Directorate in Yasar Akturk neighborhood early morning, causing material damage to both buildings.

    A second rocket landed on a nearby street, injuring three civilians, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported. About 20 minutes later, a third rocket hit the roof of a five-story building under construction in Necmettin Erbakan neighborhood, injuring another civilian. Police have cordoned off the area and medical teams have been dispatched. Kilis lies six kilometers (four miles) from the Syrian border. 

    Turkish towns and provinces have been repeatedly struck by fire from across the frontier since mid-January. In Kilis province alone, 20 people have been killed and almost 70 others wounded by rockets which have fallen inside Turkish territory since January, according to the regional governor.
