A Spanish newspaper reported that Algeria is preparing to respond to Morocco following the death of three truck drivers in the Sahara, by deploying missiles near its border with Morocco. The Spanish newspaper La Razón stated in a report, "This development coincides with the release of some images indicating that Algeria has installed missiles aimed at its 'enemy'."
The newspaper noted that a war is looming near Spain, and Algeria and Morocco are experiencing extreme tensions in a pre-war environment. It added, "Morocco is also ready to respond strongly if the Algerian army attacks," even though it does not intend to go to war with its neighbor.
Furthermore, the article mentioned that Morocco believes "Algeria is seeking a pretext to wage war," denying that its armed forces were responsible for the deaths of the three Algerian truck drivers, a fact that remains unclear. The Spanish newspaper also published images it confirmed were of Algerian missiles on the border with Morocco.
