Thousands Storm Spain’s Ceuta Enclave from Morocco

Spanish military units were deployed to reinforce police after migrants broke through fences and swam into Ceuta.

The surge followed a court ruling that renewed attention on one of Europe’s most sensitive migration routes.

Italy and Spain clashed over Schengen rules as the crisis deepened, with Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni promising action to defend Italy’s borders.

Local businesses closed and residents sheltered as the enclave struggled to cope.
