A young migrant died Friday after falling into the sea while attempting to enter Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta by paraglider from Morocco, Anadolu reports.
Spanish news agency EFE, citing Civil Guard sources, reported that officers recovered the body of the young sub-Saharan migrant after the incident near Ceuta’s northern border.
Civil Guard officers quickly went to the area believing the migrant might still be alive, according to the report, but found that he had died.
EFE said it was the first recorded death of a migrant attempting to enter Ceuta using a paraglider.
The Civil Guard has recorded several isolated attempts by sub-Saharan migrants to reach the enclave using paragliders, particularly since last year.
