Dozens of migrants tried again on Thursday evening to storm the Greek border fence at Kastanies. They lit fires and hurled incendiaries and stones at the Greek police from the Turkish side. For their part, the security forces used tear gas, water cannons and powerful fans to drive the smoke from the fires back onto the migrants.
This was reported by reporters and several Greek media from the border region of Kastanies. The situation calmed down again in the evening, it was said from circles of the border police.

Turkey declared at the end of February that the border with the EU was open to migrants. Thereupon thousands set out to get from Turkey to Greece and thus to the EU. Greece is fighting off the people. The EU supports Athens, for example with aid and through the EU border agency Frontex.
