Spanish authorities repatriated 21 migrants to Morocco after an incident in Ceuta in which they threw stones at a military patrol. The migrants took advantage of their higher position to stone the army during the operation.
The incident resulted in no recorded personal or material damage. The situation occurred in the border zone between Ceuta and Morocco, an area frequently used by migrants to try to enter Spanish territory.
The authorities of both countries coordinated the repatriation operation of the 21 migrants involved in the stoning. This type of incident at the land borders of Ceuta and Melilla is recurring, with Spanish security forces frequently facing aggression during migration control operations.
