The BBC Russian Service reported that 50 Russian women with children were missing in Syria. They left a camp for the families of Islamic State militants

About 50 Russian women with children stopped communicating after they left the Syrian camp of Ain Issa, intended for the families of Islamic State militants. Relatives of the two missing women anonymously told the BBC Russian Service about this.

The Ain Issa camp was guarded by the Kurdish militia. One of the interlocutors of the BBC Russian Service, referring to her daughter-in-law who was in the camp, said that after the start of the Turkish invasion, the Kurds set fire to the camp and left. The women living in the camp with children went towards the Turkish border. They met with pro-Turkish detachments, but later stopped communicating. An interlocutor of the BBC Russian Service said that her daughter-in-law had not called her since October 17.

According to the BBC Russian Service, citing data from the Turkish Interior Ministry, over the past week, Turkish authorities have detained 236 people from the camps for former ISIS accomplices, who were under the control of the Kurds. Foreign citizens, including Russian citizens, were taken to camps in the north of the Syrian province of Aleppo, which is now under the control of forces loyal to Ankara.

According to BBC Russian Service sources close to the Turkish Interior Ministry, in the near future, pro-Turkish forces will notify representatives of those countries whose citizens were detained in northern Syria over the past week.

• On October 9, Türkiye launched the military operation “Source of Peace” in Syria. It was directed against the Kurds, whom the Turkish authorities consider terrorists. On October 22, after a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, it became known that the operation was terminated.
• After the start of the Turkish invasion, the Kurds declared that they would no longer be able to properly guard the camps and prisons on their territory. On October 13, the Kurds announced the escape of more than 800 people from the Ain Issa camp.
