A total of 350 irregular migrants crossed the border fence into the Spanish enclave of Melilla on Thursday morning.

Approximately 1,200 irregular migrants attempted to cross the fence, but only 350 migrants succeeded, according to Mellila’s authorities, reported by AFP.

More than 500 migrants made it through the enclave’s border fence yesterday, after the massive assault of 2,500 migrants on the border fence.

According to local authorities and the Spanish Civil Guard, the migrants used hooks, sticks, and other objects to climb the border fence separating Morocco from the Spanish enclave.

By the end of 2021, 1,092 migrants succeeded in entering Melilla, representing half the number of migrants that attempted to enter the enclave on Wednesday, according to the Spanish Interior Ministry’s data, representing a drop by 23% compared to 2020.
