Moroccan security forces have arrested hundreds of migrants trying to reach the Spanish enclave of Ceuta by land and sea.
Moroccan state television reported Sunday that 294 migrants from sub-Saharan Africa were arrested Saturday. Authorities also arrested 61 Moroccans accused of facilitating the migration attempts.
The crossings followed a surge in social media posts urging migrants to head to Ceuta.
Moroccan authorities have increased security along the border to prevent more crossings.
This comes two weeks after a deadly migration crisis in the region.
