Spain Deploys Military to Ceuta After 49,000 Migrants Cross
- At least 41 migrants died and tens of thousands entered the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta following a massive border breach from Morocco.
- Most of the fatalities occurred near Tarajal beach, where victims drowned or were crushed in stampedes while attempting to swim around breakwater barriers.
- Spain deployed military troops and police reinforcements to assist overloaded local authorities and secure the frontier as thousands slept in public parks and on streets.
- Spanish officials attributed the sudden influx partly to human trafficking networks exploiting a recent Supreme Court ruling that limits the immediate return of migrants intercepted at sea.
- The incident triggered wider political and diplomatic reactions across Europe, drawing calls for emergency border measures and sparking debate over EU migration security.
