Rabat-Morocco's attempt to invade Melilla's enlave in Spain on Friday resulted in the death of 18 migrants and security. The force that said it led to the clash, with an additional 13 deaths, updates the previous figures for the deaths of 5 people.

According to Spanish authorities, about 2,000 migrants attacked a high fence blocking Melilla. (Report by Lilian Wagdy and Ahmed Eljechtimi, edited by Leslie Adler)
