Two rockets hit the Turkish town of Kilis near the Syrian border on Sunday, wounding some people, a Reuters witness at the scene reported, a day after the government promised to protect the town from almost daily attacks by Islamic State militants.

The rockets hit two houses in a poor neighborhood near the town center. There were no dead reported and ambulances rushed to the scene. Thirteen people were injured, one government official told Reuters.

Turkish soldiers near the border returned fire into Syria following the attacks, security sources said.
