Newly released classified files reveal that Spanish and Moroccan authorities had prior intelligence about coordinated attempts by migrants to force their way across the heavily fortified border into Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa. The documents suggest that warnings were issued but did not prevent the large-scale breach, raising questions about security coordination between the two countries. The disclosures come as tensions persist over migration control in the region, with both nations facing pressure to manage irregular crossings. Details on how the warnings were communicated and whether they influenced response efforts remain unclear.
