The Latest on Europe's response to mass migration (all times local):12:45 p.m.Slovak officials say customs officers have opened fire at a car carrying migrants, injuring a woman. Thousands of migrants try to reach Spain each year either by attempting perilous sea journeys from the western Africa or across the Mediterranean Sea. The maritime rescue service says it has picked up 44 sub-Saharan African migrants that set off in a boat from the west coast of Africa in a bid to reach Spain. With border checks re-established on the Austrian-Hungarian border, the migrants could possibly go through Slovakia and the Czech Republic to get to Germany. The service said Monday it began the search for the boat after receiving a warning call from a non-government organization.
