72 Dead Amid Ceuta Migrant Crisis
Spanish authorities say most of the 60,000 migrants who crossed returned to Morocco as EU leaders planned emergency talks on border security.

- EU interior ministers will convene an emergency video conference on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, to address border security standards and prevent further uncontrolled crossings amid ongoing diplomatic tension.
