Around 400 African migrants stormed the border between Morocco and the Spanish exclave of Ceuta on Wednesday, News Agency Europa Press reported. The migrants attempted to scale the double 6-metre high fence along the border, the agency said, citing the Spanish Civil Guard, in the first such incident in seven months. Ceuta, along with Melilla, is one of two small Spanish exclaves on the North African coast. Injuries are common as migrants are either pushed back by border guards or try to jump down to the ground from the 8-kilometre fence. In December 2017, around 700 migrants stormed the border fence.
