People look at the damage caused by a rocket fired by suspected Syrian Kurdish fighters from Syria, across the border into the town of Kilis, Turkey, early Sunday. (AP photo)HASSA, Turkey: Four rockets fired from Syria hit a Turkish border town on Sunday as Turkey-backed Syrian opposition fighters pushed forward with an offensive to drive Syrian Kurdish forces from an enclave in northern Syria, the state-run news agency reported. Ten civilians were wounded in the airstrikes, three seriously, according to the Syrian Kurdish group. Afrin is controlled by a Syrian Kurdish militia, the People's Protection Units, or YPG, which Turkey views as part of the Kurdish insurgency in its southeast. Turkey has prepared around 10,000 Syrian fighters to storm Afrin, according to Rami Abdurrahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitoring group.
