Dozens of Civil Guards and military personnel land in Ceuta ahead of 15-A: “The alert is there, but it is not a real threat”

Tensions are high at the El Tarajal crossing, a 200-meter stretch of land between Spain and Morocco. The area has been a focal point since 15 days ago when thousands of people crossed irregularly from Morocco into Ceuta. The situation remains calm but uncertain, with reports of a possible new wave of crossings from Morocco on August 15.

The area is guarded by four agents of the Guardia Civil, with additional military trucks deployed to control the zone. Dozens of Guardia Civil and military personnel have been deployed to Ceuta in recent hours.
