Spain's Interior Ministry announced the deployment of 60 security personnel to the North African enclave of Ceuta, citing the ongoing migrant situation in the city. The ministry did not provide further details on the specific role of the reinforcements or the timeline of their arrival. The deployment comes as the Spanish government continues to address the migrant surge that has overwhelmed local infrastructure in recent days. As The Zioneer reported, the crisis has seen thousands of Moroccan nationals cross into the enclave, with local authorities struggling to manage the influx. The Spanish government has previously rejected calls to declare a national emergency over the situation, opting instead to rely on police reinforcements and existing legal procedures.
