The vessel landed at an unidentified landing site in Kent. No deaths or coastguard calls were mentioned. Coastguard teams intercepted the group later. The Home Office issued no quick comment. Related stories confirm the arrival through trusted agencies. Previous records stood at smaller totals, though incidents continue to surface.
