10:20Now PlayingNearly 49,000 migrants crossed into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in the space of just one day, as they rushed by sea and land from Morocco.
Spain deployed military units to Ceuta in North Africa as migrants surged by sea and land into the territory - one of only three land borders with Europe on the African continent.
Video footage showed thousands of migrants, mostly young men, swimming or floating on inner tubes from the Moroccan side, and others breaking through a gate on land and running into the city.
In Melilla, Spain's second autonomous city in northern Africa, footage from local media and human rights organisations appeared to show clashes at the Beni Ansar border point late Thursday.
That has been the only open crossing between Morocco and Melilla for the past six years.
According to Omar Naji of the Moroccan Association for Human Rights, at least three vehicles were set ablaze and injuries were reported among migrants and security forces.
