British and French ships rescue 157 migrants in English Channel
British and French ships rescued 157 migrants after their boat caught fire while attempting to cross the English Channel, in the largest rescue operation since record-keeping began in 2018. Authorities clarified that the fire broke out inside a small boat at the border between French and British waters, causing the passengers to jump into the sea. No injuries or fatalities were reported. This incident comes amid a noticeable increase in migrant crossing attempts through the passage, with larger boats approximately 12 meters in length now being used compared to usual.
