Serbian police have arrested six people and seized automatic weapons after a shooting between migrants near the country's tense border with Hungary killed three people and injured one. Police said late on October 27 that they had detained four Afghan and two Turkish nationals suspected of unlawful possession of guns and explosives. It was not immediately clear whether they would be charged with the shooting as well. The suspected clash between groups of migrants happened early on October 27 in abandoned farming warehouses near the village of Horgos.

RFE/RL has been declared an "undesirable organization" by the Russian government.
