Coalition warplanes hit ISIL villages in northern Syria

U.S.-led coalition warplanes hit Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) targets in northern Syria near the Turkish border province of Kilis on April 14, after recent rocket firings from the region.

Coalition warplanes targeted "ISIL positions" in the villages of Savran, Soran, Havar and Kefre in northern Syria at around 6:30 a.m. Clashes between the jihadist group and opposition Jaish al-Fatah (Army of Conquest) militants were occasionally ongoing in the region. Rising smoke was visible from the Turkish side.

Meanwhile, security measures have also been raised to their highest along the borderline.

The tension has recently been high in the region, as rocket projectiles fired from Syria had landed in Kilis for three consecutive days.

However, there were no casualties reported in the latest incident on April 13.

On April 12, two people were killed and six were wounded when two rocket projectiles fired from Syria landed in Kilis and another three rocket projectiles landed on April 11, wounding 12.
