A small boat carrying one of the largest dinghy loads this year arrived in the UK on Friday, setting a new mark for the biggest recorded migrant crossing of the English Channel. The vessel landed at an unidentified landing site in Kent. No deaths or coastguard calls were reported. UK authorities intercepted the group later. The Home Office gave no same day update. Other dispatches confirm the arrival through multiple sources. Previous records stood at smaller totals, though incidents remain common. Earlier this month, new Prime Minister Burnham faced his first migrant incidents since taking office. Authorities held back on revealing background of those aboard.
