Migrant Evades Border Security, Enters Spanish Enclave by Paraglider

A migrant has eluded the vigilance of the police by flying over the barrier separating Melilla from Morocco by paraglider. All attempts to locate him have been in vain.

This is "the first time a migrant has used this means of transportation to enter Melilla," which has been under high surveillance since the last confrontation between police and migrants that caused deaths and serious injuries on both sides. The fenced barriers are several meters high and equipped with cameras and watchtowers in order to discourage migrants’ attempts.

According to a spokesperson for the Melilla police, two witnesses provided a description, but this "migrant could not be located." Searches are ongoing to identify him.
