2,000 migrants cross into Macedonia from camp in Greece

Around 2,000 migrants from a camp in northern Greece are reported to have got around a border fence and crossed into Macedonian territory on Monday.

After walking for several hours, the migrants crossed a river and found a way around the fence put up by Macedonian authorities to keep them out, a Reuters photographer, Stoyan Nenov, said.

Macedonian soldiers put some of the migrants in army trucks, but it was unclear where they would be taken to.

An intelligence source in Macedonia said a group of migrants entered the country.

“Police and army are aware, they intervened,” the source said.
