Migrants charge through Macedonia fence on Greek border | |
(35 minutes later) | |
A crowd of migrants has burst through a barbed-wire fence on the Macedonia-Greece border using a steel pole as a battering ram. | |
TV footage showed migrants pushing against the fence at Idomeni, ripping away barbed wire, as Macedonian police let off tear gas to force them away. | |
A section of fence was smashed open with the battering ram. It is not clear how many migrants got through. | |
Many of those trying to reach northern Europe are Syrian and Iraqi refugees. |
