Morocco has detained dozens of migrants attempting to cross into Ceuta, a Spanish enclave on the north coast of Africa, multiple reports say. Security was stepped up around the border after rumors spread on social media about a possible second mass crossing on Saturday. In response, Moroccan authorities increased patrols and tightened control measures to prevent people from entering the city. While the reports confirm the detentions and the attempt to reach Ceuta, they do not offer extensive information about who the migrants are, where they came from, or what happens next. The accounts also do not clearly state whether any injuries occurred during the operation. Further details may depend on later updates from officials.
