Police in Morocco have shot dead an African migrant who was among 80 people trying to force their way into the Spanish enclave of Melilla.
Security officials said the group had stormed the border post in a "particularly violent assault".
"One of the illegal Sub Saharan African migrants was wounded in this particularly violent assault and died as he was transported to hospital," said the statement.
A further 16 people were arrested by the police, but the rest managed to escape.
