France to tighten border with Spain amid Ceuta migrant crisis: Minister

France will tighten its borders with Spain, the country's interior minister said on Friday, after thousands of migrants crossed from Morocco into Spain's north African Ceuta enclave.

Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said on X that he had "given instructions to immediately step up controls at the Spanish border" on Thursday night, adding on broadcaster RTL that he had spoken with his Spanish counterpart and would do so again Friday.
