Latest News About Record breaking Channel crossing

A small boat carrying 165 passengers arrived in the UK on Friday, setting a new mark for the largest single migrant crossing of the Channel. The vessel landed at an undisclosed location in Kent. No deaths or coastguard calls were recorded. UK authorities intercepted the group later. The Home Office offered no fast response. Other dispatches confirm the arrival through multiple sources. Previous records stood at less crowded voyages, though incidents keep happening. Earlier this month, new incoming premier Burnham faced his first migrant incidents since stepping into power. Authorities withheld origin of those aboard.
