Three Katyusha rockets fired from an Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)-controlled region in Syria hit the border province of Kilis on Oct. 2, state-run Anadolu Agency has reported.

There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage in the attack. 

Security forces were immediately dispatched to the scene and conducted inspections in the area.

Meanwhile, Turkish artillery units deployed on the border retaliated by shelling the region from which the rocket projectile was fired.

Earlier, a total of eight people, mostly children, were injured on Sept. 22 when two rockets fired from an ISIL-held area in northern Syria hit the center of Kilis.
