What happened at sea while thousands of people entered Ceuta: “A Spanish patrol boat and a Moroccan one almost collided”

Las incursiones navales de Marruecos en Ceuta, una exclusiva de EL PAÍS, no tienen precedentes y abren preguntas sobre la respuesta del Gobierno

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

On July 30 and 31, over 70,000 people crossed the Ceuta border from Morocco. During this time, a Moroccan frigate and several patrol boats entered Spanish waters without permission. The incursions continued into early August, nearly causing a collision between military vessels from both countries. Spain responded by deploying ships and engaging in high-level contacts to end the incident, which became known two months later.
