Migrants break through border into Spain’s Ceuta, military called in
The Spanish government said it will deploy military units to reinforce police in the North African enclave of Ceuta after migrants broke through the fences into the city from Morocco on Thursday, overwhelming the Guardia Civil police force.
A Guardia Civil spokesperson said earlier the migrants were “massively entering from the sea” through the Tarajal breakwater and police were overwhelmed but could not provide any estimates for the numbers.
The scene was reminiscent of a crossing in 2021, when some 10 000 people from Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa, many of them minors, entered the enclave of 85 000 people in days.
