More than 400 migrants stormed the border of Spain’s Melilla enclave from Morocco on Friday, and a “significant number” managed to get in, the Spanish government said.

It was the first attempted mass crossing into the tiny territory, one of only two EU borders on African soil, following a mending of diplomatic ties between Spain and Morocco in mid-March.
