The Spanish Minister of the Interior traveled to Ceuta to analyze the evolution of the situation in the Spanish city on Moroccan territory. The visit comes after an incident in which 21 Moroccan migrants were identified by the authorities.
The identified migrants are reportedly involved in a rock attack directed at elements of the military forces and authorities operating in the border area of Ceuta. The stoning reportedly caused tense situations in the area controlled by Spain.
Around 300 people reportedly attempted to enter Ceuta during this episode, according to the information available in the article, suggesting a mass entry attempt into the Spanish enclave.
The Spanish authorities proceeded with the identification of the Moroccan migrants involved in the incident, in a context of migratory pressure on the southern European borders and tension between Spain and Morocco regarding the management of migratory flows in the Ceuta region.
