Spain has requested that Morocco adjust the altitude of its drones operating near the Spanish enclave of Melilla, according to reports citing Spanish authorities. The request comes amid heightened attention to aerial activity in the area.
Melilla is a Spanish autonomous city located on the northern coast of Africa, sharing a border with Morocco. Spain also holds the enclave of Ceuta further west. Both territories are considered integral parts of Spain, a position not recognized by Morocco.
Details about the specific altitude concerns or the exact date of the request have not been independently verified. Spanish and Moroccan officials have not publicly commented on the matter.
The development follows broader discussions between Spain and Morocco on security and migration cooperation in the region. Both countries have maintained diplomatic channels to address such issues.
