French authorities rescue 157 Channel migrants
The French maritime authorities announced the rescue of 157 illegal migrants attempting to cross the English Channel aboard a small boat. The boat caught fire while trying to reach the British shores, prompting the migrants to throw themselves into the sea. French and British ships responded to rescue them, with no casualties reported so far. This marks the largest rescue operation since crossing attempts began in 2018. The incident occurs amid increasing attempts at irregular crossings along France's northern coasts, where harsh sea conditions have claimed the lives of dozens of migrants since the beginning of the year. This issue remains one of the most prominent migration concerns in the region.
