Eight rockets fired from an "Islamic State"-controlled area of Syria slammed into a Turkish border town on Tuesday, killing two people including a four-year-old child, reports said, according to AFP.

Some of the Katyusha-type rockets hit empty areas of the town of Kilis, but at least one caused casualties, Turkish media quoted the mayor Hasan Kara as saying.

A woman aged 54 was killed in the strike while shrapnel hit a passing car in which two children aged six and four were travelling, the state run
Anatolia news agency said. The four-year-old boy later died of his wounds on the way to hospital, it added. The six-year-old was also wounded.
