Spanish authorities have decided to mobilize the army after the arrival of an unprecedented number of illegal migrants in the Spanish exclave of Ceuta.
A total of more than 5 thousand people, including about 1.5 thousand minors, arrived in Ceuta from Morocco by boat overnight. The number of migrants arriving during the day was a record high for Spain.
As a result, the authorities decided to mobilise the army to support the government delegation in the autonomous city amid the situation.
