ALMOST 400 migrants have stormed through a fence between Morocco and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta.

Two police officers and three migrants were reportedly injured as they forced their way through a tall fence that surrounds the Spanish city.

Ceuta and Melilla, another Spanish territory in North Africa, have the European Union's only land borders with Africa.

"Most of the people have been apprehended and we are looking for the rest so that they can immediately be processed," Juan Ignacio Zoido, Spain's interior minister, told reporters as he arrived in Brussels, adding that 20 percent of those who had stormed the border had not yet been found.
