Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Thursday there was no "solid proof" that Morocco orchestrated a migrant rush into Ceuta in July following the emergence of a police report highlighting multiple failings by Moroccan security forces.

Spain has found no evidence to ​conclude that July's deadly border rush from Morocco into its enclave of Ceuta was orchestrated or carried out by Moroccan authorities, Prime Minister ​Pedro Sanchez ‌told lawmakers on Thursday.
