Migrants at the Lipa migrant camp, near the northwestern town of Bihac, clashed with police on Wednesday evening.
Police said migrants threw rocks at officers, which prompted the Interior Ministry of the Una-Sana Canton (USK), to send special forces to secure the camp.

According to unofficial information, one of the officers fired his gun after a migrant attacked him with a knife. Bosnia has seen a massive and continuous influx of migrants since 2018 after many countries in the region closed their borders.
The migrants, many of whom enter the country at the eastern border with Serbia, only want to use Bosnia for transit on their path toward EU countries. This is why most of them end up in the USK, which borders Croatia – an EU member.
They are stopped by Croatian police at the border, and those who do manage to cross over are often sent back to Bosnia.
