More than 150 migrants crossed the border fence at Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta and briefly clashed with
police on Friday, the biggest attempt to enter across the heavily guarded barrier in a year.
The incident took place on the same day that a separate group of 15 migrants rescued at sea arrived in the mainland port of San Roque aboard a Spanish warship from
Italy, a high profile case that has drawn attention to Europe's migration crisis.
The caretaker Socialist administration has drawn criticism at home for its handling of the rescued migrants after Italy's refusal to take them in.
