Officials say around 100 migrants of sub-Saharan origin have stormed the barbed-wire border fence separating Spain’s North African enclave of Melilla from Morocco, with 20 managing to get across.<\/p>\n
An Interior Ministry statement Tuesday said the storming occurred at 6 a.m. The migrants who avoided being repelled by police made their way to the city’s temporary migrant accommodation center. Police eventually repatriate the migrants or let them go.<\/p>\n
There were no reports of injuries.<\/p>\n
Also, Spain’s maritime rescue service said 10 migrants were intercepted trying to reach Spain by boat after crossing the Strait of Gibraltar.<\/p>\n
Thousands of African immigrants living illegally in Morocco regularly try to enter Spain’s enclaves of Melilla and Ceuta in a bid to reach Europe in search of a better life.<\/p>\n
