Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Spain said it will deploy military forces to Ceuta after thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco into the North African enclave on Thursday, breaching border fences or reaching shore by sea. At least nine people died during the crossings, which local officials said had pushed the small territory’s reception and security systems beyond capacity. Ceuta’s president, Juan Jesús Vivas, asked Madrid to declare a national emergency and send reinforcements. Spain also moved additional police officers to the enclave to restore border control.
