HUNDREDS of migrants stormed the frontier from Morocco onto Spanish soil on Tuesday by land and sea, clashing with police in one raid that left seven people injured, officials said. They were the latest in a wave of thousands of impoverished migrants trying to reach Spain, with officials saying their numbers have swelled in recent years due to unrest in northern Africa.
Before dawn, about 300 migrants tore down part of the six-metre (20-foot) high fence around Melilla, a Spanish-governed territory bordering northern Morocco and about 100 made it through, Spanish government officials there said in a statement.
