Summary

Moroccan warships entered Spanish waters off Ceuta during and after a migrant surge in July, an act described by reports as an intentional violation of Spanish sovereignty. The incursions, which included at least one frigate and multiple patrol craft, occurred without authorization and persisted until early August. The presence of the vessels prompted the Spanish Navy and Ministry of Defence to intervene, leading to a tense encounter that nearly resulted in a collision between military boats from both countries. The incident has heightened bilateral tensions regarding the sovereignty of the enclave.
