A British coastguard vessel docks at the port of Dover after a rescue operation at sea on Monday night.

The Border Force vessel carried the rescued migrants, at least 85, including young children, to port in Dover.

The rescue operation took place at 4 a.m. as the migrants attempted to reach the UK in two small boats.

Earlier in June, the Royal Navy rescued over 80 migrants in a similar operation off the Kent coast.
