Morocco says it has strengthened security near Ceuta and Melilla after messages circulated on social media calling for new mass crossings into Spain’s North African enclaves. The Associated Press reported that the source of the messages had not been established publicly.
The development follows a large movement at Ceuta in late July. The current announcement is a security response, not evidence that a new crossing has been organised or will happen.
What is confirmed
Moroccan authorities said security had been reinforced. Spain’s Civil Guard said the border would remain closed, while Spain’s defence minister warned against attempts at a mass entry.
The reported online messages are not a verified instruction, official notice or safe source of information. Claims shared in fast moving border situations can be false, incomplete or dangerous.
What remains uncertain
Public reporting does not identify who created the messages, how widely they were shared or whether they reflect any planned event. It also does not establish what will happen at the border in the coming days.
People seeking protection or immigration advice should use official channels and qualified legal or humanitarian services. A social media post cannot determine a person’s legal options or make a sea or border route safe.
