Evacuations as police clash with armed group

(9 May 2015) Local residents in the Macedonian city of Kumanovo were evacuated on Saturday following clashes between police and an "armed terrorist group". The residents were transported in military vehicles away from areas where clashes were taking place. Macedonia's state-run news agency MIA reported that four police officers were injured by gunfire, and three of them were taken to a hospital in the capital, Skopje. A "well-trained terrorist group" had entered Macedonia from an unspecified neighbouring country with a plan to "perform attacks on state institutions", according to a spokesman for the Interior Ministry. He said the group was "sheltered in the houses of supporters" in the Kumanovo neighbourhood of Diva Naselba, but didn't give any more details about the organisation. The incident came a day after thousands of opposition supporters joined nationwide protests against alleged police brutality.
