Ceuta experienced a night of intense vandalism marked by cars set on fire and confrontations between migrants, in an episode described as the most severe since the mass entry of migrants recorded on July 30. The local authorities faced a situation of great violence during that night, with incidents that caused significant material damage in the Spanish enclave city.

The confrontations between groups of migrants resulted in situations of great tension, with reports of violence between different communities present in Ceuta. The situation deteriorated to the point that the authorities considered this night as a critical point in managing the migratory presence in the city.

Ceuta, as a Spanish enclave in North Africa, has frequently been the scene of massive attempts by migrants to enter, with the date of July 30 being cited as an important milestone in this dynamic. The night of vandalism now described represents an aggravation of the situation of instability that the city has been facing.
