Hundreds of migrants storm Melilla fence

The jump comes days after thousands of migrants flocked from Morocco into the other Spanish city in north Africa, Ceuta.

The migrants were mainly from Morocco and managed to cross into Melilla in several attempts climbing over the six-metre (20-ft) fence, a government official said.

Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said on Friday six hundred migrants attempted to storm the fence, adding those 30 who reached Spain, will be sent back if asylum not requested,
