The military fears more ambushes of immigrants in Ceuta and ask to be agents of the authority

In Ceuta, Spain, military forces and police have experienced two separate ambushes by migrants within 48 hours, resulting in injuries to five personnel. The attacks involved migrants throwing stones and using weapons such as sticks and knives against unarmed soldiers and police officers. Military sources express concern that these incidents could become a recurring pattern, suggesting possible organized efforts behind them. While no formal organization has been confirmed yet, four Moroccan men, some under the age of 18, were arrested after the second attack. The military has called for recognition as agents of authority and requested additional resources to protect their personnel amid rising tensions.
