A Turkish news agency says shells fired from Syria have hit southern Turkey, the fourth such cross-border incident in less than a week.
The private Dogan news agency says the shells struck two areas of the city center of Kilis Wednesday morning, triggering panic. The agency said the shells landed on empty land causing no casualties. Police were dispatched to the affected area.
Turkey's military systematically retaliates to rockets or shells that land on Turkish territory in line with its rules of engagement.
On Tuesday, Turkish artillery units fired at Islamic State group targets in Syria after a salvo of rockets hit the center of Kilis, killing one person and wounding seven others.
The wider province of Kilis borders areas in Syria that are controlled by the Islamic State group, Syrian Kurdish militia or anti-government Syrian rebels.
