In a recent incident, Moroccan security forces successfully prevented groups of people from attempting to force their way across the border into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta. This action came in response to a call on social networks for a mass migration attempt. Despite some individuals trying to breach a border fence, none were able to enter Spain, as confirmed by the Spanish Interior Ministry.

Online messages had circulated, urging people to head to Ceuta on Sunday to cross into Europe. Videos shared by local networks depicted groups of individuals in the hills near the Moroccan border town of Fnideq, along with an increased Moroccan security presence, including helicopters.
