Serbia’s defense ministry said a 20-year old Afghan migrant crossing illegally from Bulgaria has been shot dead, apparently by hunters.

The ministry said Wednesday that its border patrol heard a shot Tuesday night and then discovered six migrants, of whom one had a chest wound. He later died.

The ministry said a hunter who was at the scene was detained on suspicion that he shot the migrant.

Meanwhile, the UNHCR estimated that there are currently some 4,400 migrants stuck in Serbia.
