About 35 migrants broke out of a temporary asylum centre in northern Greece on Saturday after throwing rocks at guards. Police used flash grenades during clashes that lasted until Sunday morning, and 17 of the escapees have since been caught. Five migrants were also hurt and taken to hospital, with around 18 still missing.
