Spanish authorities said the situation in the Ceuta enclave has been 'almost entirely reversed' following a mass migrant crossing from Morocco. The death toll from the crisis has climbed to 67.

Under the watch of Spanish soldiers and police, young migrants remaining in the enclave continued crossing back to Morocco on Saturday morning. Following a crisis in which thousands crossed the border, authorities are working to restore control over the border area.

The episode has stirred fresh tension over migration policy between Spain and the European Union, with Madrid pressing EU partners for greater support in handling the crisis. The developments have reignited broader debate over migration management across the continent.
