Morocco detained dozens of migrants as they tried to enter Ceuta, according to reports.
Ceuta is a Spanish territory on the north coast of Africa. The migrants were stopped while attempting to cross from Morocco into Ceuta. Moroccan authorities increased security in the area.
The move came after suggestions spread on social media about a possible second mass crossing on Saturday. Because of these online claims, security was stepped up to prevent another attempt. The reports focus on the detention and the heightened police presence, but they do not provide further information about the migrants’ identities or their next steps.
