Akhyaafee (consanguine) siblings

If my mother had children out of wedlock, are these children considered to be my siblings according to Islam? Am I responsible for them as the older child. We have different dads but my mom was married to my dad.

Yes, they are your akhyaafee (consanguine) siblings.
Yes.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
