Moroccan police have expelled hundreds of sub-Saharan migrants attempting to cross the border into the Spanish city of Ceuta. The migrants had gathered near the Castillejos crossing point, but were turned back by Moroccan authorities. Spanish police, the Civil Guard, and military personnel have reinforced security around the El Tarajal crossing in Ceuta in response. The situation unfolded rapidly, prompting a significant security operation on the Spanish side of the border. Currently, the border crossing at Melilla remains calm, though with an increased police presence. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges of migration flows between Africa and Europe, and the role of Moroccan border control. No injuries have been reported at this time.
