He said the group apparently entered Macedonia from Kosovo, briefly captured four on-duty police officers and took control of the watchtower for about half an hour, after which the policemen were released.

No injuries were reported, and Kotevski qualified the incident as "very serious," adding that Macedonia was "the target of a terrorist attack."
