Spain is facing a major migrant crisis after thousands of people attempted to enter the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco by swimming across the sea and breaking through border gates. Spain deployed military units and additional police as violence erupted along the frontier, while Morocco used water cannons to stop crossings. The surge comes amid growing political tensions over Spain's migration policies, a recent court ruling affecting migrant returns, and continued economic hardship in North Africa. Authorities fear a repeat of the 2021 Ceuta crisis, as the European Union braces for another major migration challenge on its southern border.
