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 unidentified landing site in Kent. No deaths or coastguard calls were mentioned. Immigration officers intercepted the group later. The Home Office had no immediate statement. Other dispatches confirm the arrival through reliable channels. Previous records stood at smaller totals, though incidents remain common. Earlier this month, new UK leader Burnham faced his first migrant incidents since taking office. Authorities declined to identify origin of those aboard.
