Add InterestA group of around 300 migrants stormed fences separating Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta from Morocco on Wednesday, and 116 of them made it onto European soil, authorities said. Seven policemen were burned by acid and quicklime, a skin irritant, allegedly thrown by some of the migrants as they overran border defenses, the Guardia Civil said. Five of the immigrants who got into Ceuta required hospital treatment for their injuries, a Guardia Civil statement said. The assault came a month after just over 600 migrants got past the high, barbed-wire fences in the year's biggest assault. The two enclaves recently received reinforcements of 60 police officers each, the Guardia Civil said.
