Four people were injured when a mortar shell, believed to be fired from Syria, hit the wall of a house in the town of Suruç in the southeastern province of Sanlıurfa.
The mortar shell was believed to have been fired at around 1:20 on Sunday afternoon from the Syrian border town of Kobane during the fierce clashes between Kurdish forces and members of the Islamic State and Iraq, or ISIL. It exploded after hitting the wall of a house in the town's Atmanek neighborhood, which is just two kilometers to the Turkish-Syrian border.
The residents in the home were injured by shrapnel pieces and broken stones which ricocheted off the destroyed wall.
The injured were taken to Suruç state hospital. Turkish armed forces stepped up security precaution in the region.
