Injuring at least 29 people, Bosnian police say a fire has engulfed a migrant center in the northwest of the country.
Police say the fire broke out early Saturday in the center located in Velika Kladusa, which accommodates over hundreds of migrants stuck in the Balkan country while trying to move toward Western Europe.
The cause of the outbreak was not readily known. Local media published video footages showing people jumping out through the windows amid thick gray smoke surging from the building.
Police report that 29 migrants have been taken to close by hospitals for checkup and treatment.
And several thousand migrants fleeing war and poverty in their countries have been passing through Bosnia toward the West. They mostly flock to the northwest that borders European Union member Croatia.
