Spain enhances vessel tracking over Makhzen provocations

Spanish media reports indicate that the Spanish Royal Navy has intensified surveillance of Moroccan ships' movements near Ceuta and Melilla, and has made adjustments to its protocols following Moroccan ships' incursion into territorial waters on July 30th. These developments led to an escalation of measures, including deploying patrol ships to intercept suspicious vessels. Recent actions demonstrate increased vigilance and a more firm, proactive approach, after Spain previously maintained a cautious and passive policy. Reports suggest that the incident in July marked a turning point: Moroccan ships' activity decreased, but strict monitoring continued to prevent any unauthorized crossings. This involved strengthening naval patrols, dispatching additional ships, and maintaining efforts to manage the maritime tensions between the two countries over Ceuta and Melilla.
