Migrants on the Greece-Macedonia border have attacked police with stones, enraged by the sight of Macedonian soldiers erecting a fence along the border, and an accident that injured a young Moroccan man.
Macedonia’s interior ministry said 18 Macedonian officers were injured on Saturday in the brief but intense clashes. Most of the officers received minor injuries but two were taken to hospital in the nearby town of Gevgelija.
There was no official tally of injured migrants, although Macedonian police targeted them with stun grenades and plastic bullets. Doctors from the Red Cross and other non-governmental organisations said they treated 20 people for head injuries and breathing problems.
