At Least 41 Dead After 60,000 Breach Ceuta Border Before Spain, Morocco Halt Rush
Spanish authorities said 49,000 migrants crossed in 24 hours, leaving reception centers overwhelmed and prompting troops to help restore order.
- At least 41 migrants died and tens of thousands entered the Spanish North African enclave of Ceuta following a massive border breach from Morocco.
- Most of the fatalities occurred near Tarajal beach, where victims drowned or were crushed in stampedes while attempting to swim around breakwater barriers.

- Spanish officials attributed the sudden influx partly to human trafficking networks exploiting a recent Supreme Court ruling that limits the immediate return of migrants intercepted at sea.
- The incident triggered wider political and diplomatic reactions across Europe, drawing calls for emergency border measures and sparking debate over EU migration security.
