Thousands of Migrants Cross Into Spain's Ceuta, Prompting Military Deployment
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 the border fence or scaling it, prompting Ceuta's regional government to request Madrid declare a national emergency and deploy the army. Spain's Interior Ministry rejected the emergency declaration but announced military support to assist the Civil Guard. The surge recalls a similar crisis in 2021 and has strained Spain-Morocco relations amid ongoing migration challenges.
