Spain deploys army to Ceuta after at least 15 migrants drown

Spain mobilised ground troops in Ceuta after thousands of migrants from Morocco — mostly swimming across the Mediterranean — breached the border. At least 15 people drowned and authorities warn the death toll may rise. The head of Ceuta's local government called it a "complete humanitarian and social catastrophe" and appealed for a state of emergency. Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska are travelling to Ceuta on Friday.
