Turkish authorities have issued orders for residents in the town of Karkamis to be evacuated after a third artillery shell fell onto the Turkish border town of Killis earlier today.
The town of Karkamis is located right across the town of Jarablus in Syria. Karkamis has faced heavy shelling from the Islamic State (IS) group as it fights to take control of further territory.
Heavy troop movement is being reported in the area. Earlier today Turkish FM Mevlut Cavusoglu said Turkey would provide every kind of support in the fight for Jarablus. Jarablus remains one of the last places bordering Turkey still in IS hands
