Spain denies ignoring intelligence service warning over Ceuta migration crisis

The Spanish government has denied ignoring warnings from its intelligence service, the Centro Nacional de Inteligencia (CNI), regarding a large influx of migrants to Ceuta. Madrid stated on Monday that no intelligence reports had been received indicating a migration crisis of the scale experienced. The government's denial comes amidst ongoing efforts in Ceuta to manage the situation, including accommodating and repatriating remaining migrants. The search for further fatalities is also continuing, with the Ministry of the Interior reporting that 72 bodies have been recovered to date.
