Migrant Unique to Police, Flying Across the Border into Europe on a Paraglider: The First Case.

Unusual Border Crossing

According to The Sun: This shocking moment, when a migrant paraglides across the border into Europe, became an unexpected event for the police.

Law enforcement was astonished when they saw on surveillance cameras how the daredevil crossed the powerful barriers at the border with Spain.

Situation at the Scene

The migrant chose an unusual way to fly across the border from Morocco to Ceuta — a Spanish territory in North Africa.

At the landing site, only colorful paragliding equipment was found.

This is considered the first case of attempting to cross this border using a paraglider.

The video shows how the man flies over Mount Jebel Musa in Morocco before landing on European soil in the area of Sidi Ibrahim in Ceuta.

This area is popular among hiking and mountain biking enthusiasts.

“We don’t think many others will attempt this. It is expensive and risky, and it requires certain experience,” said a police officer.

Other Crossing Methods

Ceuta, one of two Spanish enclaves in North Africa, has long been familiar with the situation of migrants trying to cross territories through fortified fences from Morocco.

Previously, migrants jumped into the sea to reach Spanish territory.

It is also known that the Civil Guard was aware of the possibility of such aerial attempts this summer.

One of the local newspapers even published a guide explaining how to attempt such a crossing, pointing to “more vulnerable” routes.

In May, one police officer was injured trying to stop migrants who were attempting to climb into Ceuta over two parallel fences.

Each of the fences is about 10 meters high and topped with barbed wire.

Electronic sensors and powerful lights are also part of the security system, complicating crossings.

In August, Spain's Ministry of the Interior reported that 1,452 migrants illegally crossed the border into Ceuta by land from January 1 to July 31, which is 7% more than in the same period last year.

Thus, along with crossings via the border fence, there have also been instances where they were driven to the enclave in vehicles.

The actions of the migrant who used paragliding to change the strategy of crossing the border demonstrate how border violations are becoming increasingly creative. Although this is the first case of its kind, it is likely that others may attempt to emulate this example. The situation at the borders of Europe continues to be tense, and authorities are implementing new control measures to prevent illegal migration.
