Spanish military units are being deployed to reinforce police in the city of Ceuta after migrants in Morocco broke through fences, overwhelming the local force. Nine people have been found dead, according to local authorities, adding to a toll of 60 migrants who've died attempting to cross into the region in recent months. Ceuta's an autonomous city of Spain, on the North African coast, and it's been the scene of previous mass migration events in recent years.
