80 sub-Saharan illegal migrants were arrested Sunday, 15th of April, by the Moroccan authorities in Nador while they were trying to enter Spain, reports EFE.

The migrants’ attempt to reach Spain was foiled, according to the same source, after the authorities conducted two separate operations in two beaches near the city of Nador.

25 illegal migrants were arrested off the Moroccan coast en route to Spain during the first operation while 55 others, including women and children, were intercepted while they were trying to get on an inflatable boat.
