Spain has reported no new mass crossing attempt in Ceuta. Security reinforcements remain in place as authorities track online calls linked to 23 September, while the embassy in Rabat uses social media to challenge claims about irregular entry and onward travel.

Spain has received no notice of a new mass attempt to enter Ceuta after the crossings of 30 and 31 July. The Interior Ministry is still keeping extra personnel at sensitive points. The Spanish Embassy in Rabat is using social media to discourage irregular arrivals in Ceuta and Melilla. The immediate concern is that Morocco's legislative elections on 23 September could coincide with new online calls for coordinated crossings.

The security response is based on prevention, not on a confirmed new operation. Reinforcements remain at the Melilla fence, Ceuta's port and the El Tarajal border crossing. Local security boards can adjust deployments on the ground if the situation changes.
