Around 1,200 migrants try to storm the border separating Spain's Melilla enclave from Morocco in the second such attempt in 24 hours
Melilla and Ceuta, Spain's other tiny North African enclave, are the European Union's only land borders with Africa, making them a magnet for migrants desperate to escape grinding poverty or war.
The incident occurred a day after an unprecedented 2,500 migrants made a mass run at the border with almost 500 getting across in what the Spanish government's local delegation said was "the biggest entry attempt on record". "At around 7:25 am, after overcoming the Moroccan security forces, they began to jump the fence... throwing stones and using hooks and sticks against the security forces," he said, indicating around 350 managed to cross over.
Claimed by Morocco, the two enclaves have long been a point of dispute in bilateral diplomatic relations, with Madrid insisting both are integral parts of Spain.
