A small boat carrying one of the largest dinghy loads this year arrived in the UK on Friday, setting a new mark for the most crowded migrant crossing of the Channel. The vessel landed at an undisclosed location in Kent. No deaths or coastguard calls were logged. Coastguard teams intercepted the group later. The Home Office issued no quick comment. Similar reports confirm the arrival through trusted agencies. Previous records stood at lower numbers, though incidents remain common. Earlier this month, new UK leader Burnham faced his first sea border tests since assuming duties. Authorities withheld homeland of those aboard.
