Thousands of Migrants Cross Into Spain's Ceuta; Military Deployed Amid Border Surge
Thousands of migrants, mainly Moroccans, crossed into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco, overwhelming local border security and reception centers. Many entered by swimming around maritime barriers or scaling border fences. At least nine migrants died during the crossings. Ceuta's regional government called for a national emergency and military deployment, which Spain's central government approved, sending troops to assist the Civil Guard. The surge recalls a similar 2021 crisis and has raised concerns over border management and humanitarian conditions.
