Closure at Beni Ansar crossing after migrant attempt
Developments indicate the closure of the only Ben Nassar crossing between Melilla and Morocco, following riots and acts of vandalism by illegal migrants attempting to reach the city near Melilla’s gate. According to Spanish sources, more than 400 migrants entered Melilla during Thursday night, while police reports show that approximately 130 of them are being returned to Morocco through security coordination between the two countries. Moroccan forces and customs prohibited migrants from entering the crossing, leading to clashes that resulted in violence and car burnings, as Moroccan and Spanish security agencies continue to coordinate to secure the border area. This occurs amidst a rise in collective movement attempts, increased smuggling and intrusion efforts at the border, and ongoing security tensions and protests against the measures.
