GAZIANTEP, Turkey (AA) - Two mortar bombs landed in a Turkish residential area on the Syrian border Tuesday, residents said.

There were no injuries in Karkamis, which lies around a kilometer (mile) across the frontier from Jarabulus, where Free Syrian Army forces are fighting to take control of the city from Daesh.

Roads leading into the area were closed for security reasons and residents were urged not to leave home.

The town lies in Gaziantep province, the capital of which was hit by a suicide bomb Saturday that killed 54 and has been blamed on Daesh.
