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.
French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said on X that he had "given instructions to immediately step up controls at the Spanish border" on Thursday night.
He also announced the activation of the rapid intervention border force "for in-depth inspections."
Speaking separately to broadcaster RTL, he said he had spoken with his Spanish counterpart and would do so again Friday.
"We have controls at the French-Spanish border, they already exist, and in fact they have been reinforced in recent months," Nunez said.
