Turkish authorities said the Kurdish group had fired five rockets from northern Syria on Monday, killing three people and wounding others in a Turkish border district following cross-border military operations at the weekend.

The rockets hit a school, two houses and a truck in the Karkamis district, near a border gate in Gaziantep province, the governor Davut Gul said, adding six had been wounded.

Turkish Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu later said three had died, including a child and a teacher.
