At least three people were killed on Nov. 21 in a series of mortar attacks in Turkey’s Gaziantep Province, located adjacent to Syria, according to the Turkish Interior Ministry.

The ministry has blamed the cross-border attacks on the Kurdish YPG, the Syrian offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
