Moroccan security forces have intensified measures to prevent access to Beni Ansar port in Nador, a key location often targeted by large groups of migrants attempting to cross into the Spanish enclave of Melilla.
In response to online calls for mass migration attempts, a large number of migrants gathered in the area, prompting an urgent intervention by Moroccan authorities.
To secure the borders and counter these online campaigns, authorities deployed heavy security forces in Beni Ansar and surrounding areas, increasing patrols along the border.
All vehicles in the area are being thoroughly inspected to prevent human smuggling.
Beach surveillance has been strengthened to stop migrants from attempting to swim to Melilla.
Videos have surfaced on social media showing minors in Fnideq or en route, intending to swim to the occupied cities.
