The Melilla border forces stopped on Friday morning a group of up to 700 migrants from scaling the Melilla border fence, the latest in a series of breaches on the Moroccan border with Spain, according to the enclave’s Government Delegation.
The migrants scaling the six-meters high border fence were stopped by “anti-intrusion” devices weaponized on the fence.
“They came perfectly organized and using military tactics, dividing into groups to disintegrate the Forces that guard the fence,” stated the Government Delegation in a brief statement to Spanish media.
The fence witnessed similar events, on Thursday, when a group of about 25 sub-Saharan migrants approached the fence in the Vaguada de Linares area.
The sub-Saharan migrants didn’t manage to jump as Moroccan security forces aborted their attempts, according to the Government Delegation’s report.
Earlier this month, 400 sub-Saharan migrants, in an organized manner, divided into three groups, tried to cross the fence at different points in the northern zone at the same time, the Government Delegation reported.
