Thousands of migrants, primarily young men from Morocco and other African nations, attempted to enter the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. The surge resulted in numerous deaths, with reports ranging from 18 to at least 90 fatalities. Spain responded by deploying military troops and resources to assist the Civil Guard in restoring border control. The events involved violent clashes, the use of stun grenades and tear gas, and the torching of vehicles.
