Around 800 Africans attempted to cross the border into the Spanish city of Ceuta on Friday, and 438 were reportedly successful, illegally entering the city and celebrating in the streets.

Ceuta is in North Africa, sharing a land border with Morocco, and surrounded by a fence.

The migrants were given food and around 100 of them were treated by the Red Cross, according to reports.

From videos taken of the group celebrating, most appear to be younger men, and many are believed to be originally from sub-Saharan Africa. Many of the men were yelling “España!” and doing cartwheels as they paraded through the streets.

They have been taken to a migrant detention center, where they will likely apply for asylum. It is believed to be the “biggest break-in to the territory in over a decade,” Euro News reports.
