What happened, for context

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez convened an extraordinary meeting of the National Security Council in response to a mass migrant influx into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta from Morocco in late July 2026. The government declared a state of national security interest and announced unified command of the response, approximately 25–26 days after around 72,000–80,000 migrants entered the territory.
