BEIRUT/ISTANBUL—Women affiliated with ISIS and their children fled en masse from a camp where they were being held in northern Syria on Sunday after shelling by Turkish forces in a five-day-old offensive, the region’s Kurdish-led administration said.

Turkey’s cross-border attack in northern Syria against Kurdish forces widened to target the town of Suluk, which was hit by Ankara’s Syrian rebel allies. There were conflicting accounts on the outcome of the fighting.
