MADRID, August 13. /TASS/. About 5,000 migrants remain in the Spanish autonomous city of Ceuta after a mass illegal entry at the end of July, Spanish Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska told reporters.

According to him, about 880 police officers and 714 Civil Guard personnel are currently deployed in the city. The minister promised to further strengthen the security presence. He also addressed people planning to enter Ceuta illegally, assuring them that none would remain in the city or reach mainland Spain. Grande-Marlaska said that "approximately 5,000" irregular migrants remained in Ceuta.

"There is no risk of terrorism as a result of the events that we unfortunately experienced on July 30," he said.

At the end of July, tens of thousands of irregular migrants reached Ceuta by swimming and by walking around a breakwater separating the city from Morocco. Amid the crisis, Madrid deployed troops to help maintain security in the city. The overwhelming majority of the irregular migrants are believed to have returned to Morocco.
