Attributed claims 4
Attribution helps readers distinguish a source's claim from the article narrator's own assertion.

Ceuta’s population is just 84,000, but from Wednesday to Friday, an estimated 60,000 migrants entered the territory, Ceuta’s top official Juan Jesus Vivas said.
Uncertainty qualifiers 2
Qualifiers such as may, might, or reportedly are disclosed as technique but do not add framing-risk points by themselves.

One possible reason for the timing could be a Spanish Supreme Court ruling on July 8 that said migrants intercepted at sea cannot be summarily returned.
