(Reuters) Dozens of migrants stormed into Spain’s North African enclave of Melilla early on Tuesday, scaling the high, razor-wired fence that separates it from Morocco, local authorities said.
The migrants, all from sub-Saharan Africa and nine of whom sustained injuries that required hospital treatment, were among around 150 who tried to climb over the six-metre (20-ft) fence.
Melilla and Ceuta — a second Spanish enclave also on Africa’s northern coast — are popular crossing points for illegal African migrants trying to get into Europe.
