European interior ministers have expressed concern over cases of foreign "information interference" linked to the circulation of images during the migration crisis in Ceuta.

Speaking after a meeting with his EU counterparts on Tuesday, French interior minister Laurent Nuñez, said there was no rift in the EU on the issue.

The informal online discussion was convened following the influx of tens of thousands of migrants last week into the Spanish enclave in North Africa.

Nuñez said all member states had "without exception" expressed solidarity with Spain and that the interference was trying "to sow division among” them.

“There was a certain amount of interference by foreign states which used these images to criticise the EU’s migration management policy,” he said.
