Migrants Break Through FYROM Border, Police Use Stun Grenades

 Police fired stun grenades to stop the flow, but many of the migrants made it into the country, FYROM***’s Vest newspaper said.
According to the AFP, at least 1,500 migrants managed to enter FYROM*** as police made no attempt to stop them.

On August 20, FYROM*** declared a state of emergence on the borders to cope with the influx of migrants. The day after, police used stun grenades, rubber bullets and tear gas against more than 3,000 migrants, trying to enter the country from Greece.

The situation in the country's south escalated after the number of migrants at the FYROM*** border with Greece reached about 5,000, mostly from Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
