Istanbul: Four Turkish soldiers were wounded on Wednesday, one of them seriously, when Islamic State (IS) jihadists fired rockets and shells on a training camp near the Iraqi city of Mosul, reports said.

The Turkish military responded to the attack on the camp -- used to train Iraqi anti-jihadist fighters with Turkish help -- with fire of their own, the CNN-Turk and NTV channels reported, citing military sources.
