(25 Jan 2018) Two people were killed and 11 injured on Wednesday evening after two rockets fired from inside Syria hit a mosque and a home in the border town of Kilis in Turkey.
A Turkish and Syrian

national were killed when the bomb struck the Calik mosque during evening prayers.
"If this bomb had hit around noon, more people would have been killed because this is a central mosque, and it's very crowded during midday prayers," said local resident Aydin Yavuzcan.
Eleven other people who were hurt in the attack were being treated in hospitals.
The attack came as Turkey's military pushed forward with an offensive to clear Syrian Kurdish militias from an enclave in northwest Syria.
