Four Syrian refugees, including three children, were killed as a result of an attack launched from Daesh-controlled territory in Syria.

ANKARA (Sputnik) – Four people, three of them children, have died in shelling in the southeastern Turkish city of Kilis carried out from the Syrian territory controlled by Daesh, municipal authorities said Monday.

"Four rockets fired from Syrian territory exploded in different parts of the city of Kilis between 2:38 p.m. and 4:40 p.m. [11:38-13:40 GMT]. Four Syrian citizens (refugees), including three children, have died as a result," the municipality said in a written statement.

It added that one Kilis resident and five Syrians have been wounded in the attack. Turkish artillery reportedly responded to the latest shelling by firing at the positions of the terrorist group outlawed in Russia in northern Syria.

One person died in hospital and 19 were wounded when Kilis was shelled last week. In March, two civilians, including a child, were killed in Kilis province in a similar incident. The Turkish artillery retaliated by shelling the positions in Syria from where the rocket missiles were presumably fired.

Reports emerged that a fifth rocket killed one person in Kilis, which hosts a large number of refugees fleeing conflict in Syria.
