US SHIP INFERNO: Russian Captain Arrested After Fiery Collision
— A Russian national captained the cargo ship involved in a collision with a U.S. tanker off England’s coast, causing a massive fire and fuel spill. The captain is in UK police custody on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence. One crew member is missing and presumed dead, while all 23 aboard the U.S.-flagged MV Stena Immaculate are safe.
The Solong, flagged under Portugal, collided with the MV Stena Immaculate while it was anchored near Hull, transporting jet fuel for the American military. Ernst Russ owns the Solong, which had a mixed crew of Russian and Filipino nationals. This incident has sparked concerns about maritime safety standards and oversight.
Inspections before the collision revealed serious deficiencies on the Solong, including steering issues and inadequate safety equipment.

TRAGIC Migrant DEATHS in English Channel Demand Urgent Action
— A day after 12 migrants died in the English Channel, dozens more tried the dangerous crossing from France to Britain. French patrol boats watched as a crowded vessel struggled through the seas. This incident shows the big problem facing both French and U.K. governments.
The mayor of Wimereux, Jean-Luc Dubaële, called for urgent action from French and British officials to stop more tragedies. “Smugglers keep sending people to their deaths,” he said. "It’s high time that a lasting solution is found with Britain.
Cross-Channel migration was a key issue in the recent U.K. general election, which saw Keir Starmer become prime minister. A French prosecutor revealed that 10 of the 12 dead were women and six were minors, many appearing to be Eritrean. The boat sank about three miles off the French coast with many aboard lacking life vests.

TRAGIC Migrant RESCUE in English Channel Exposes Border Crisis
— Around 60 migrants were rescued by the French navy and coastguard from a capsized inflatable boat near Boulogne-sur-Mer. Four migrants were found unresponsive and could not be revived. The rescue operation is ongoing, with concerns that more victims may still be in the water.
The migrant crisis on Britain’s southern shore remains unresolved, contributing to the downfall of the previous British government. The new Labour government has promised action but has yet to deliver any meaningful results.
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, criticized the new government for its inaction following the recent deaths in the Channel. He warned that he would hold them accountable just as he did with their predecessors.
People smugglers continue to exploit desperate migrants, leading to overcrowded and dangerous crossings. This year alone, 19 people have died attempting to cross the English Channel, while 14,000 have successfully made it across — a nearly 20% increase from last year.
IRANIAN-BACKED Houthis Attack Ship in Gulf of Aden, Injure Mariner
— The Iranian-backed Houthis launched two anti-ship cruise missiles, striking the M/V Verbena in the Gulf of Aden off Yemen. The attack set the ship on fire and severely injured one civilian mariner. U.S. Central Command reported that the mariner was flown to another ship for medical treatment by a U.S. helicopter based on the USS Philippine Sea.
The M/V Verbena, a Palauan-flagged, Ukrainian-owned, and Polish-operated bulk cargo carrier, was en route from Malaysia to Italy carrying wood when it was attacked. Central Command confirmed that the crew is still fighting fires on board. This incident marks another escalation in the Houthis’ campaign amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Earlier reports from British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center and private security firm Ambrey indicated that a vessel had been attacked and caught fire after making a distress call about being struck by a missile. The Houthis typically delay claiming responsibility for such attacks by hours or even days.
This attack follows another incident where Houthis launched a boat-borne bomb against a commercial ship in the Red Sea on Wednesday. The rebels have been targeting shipping throughout this strategic corridor as part of their ongoing conflict with a Saudi-led coalition since seizing Yemen’s capital nearly ten years ago.
HEROIC Navy Seals SACRIFICED in Iranian Weapons Seizure: Four Arrested
— Four individuals of foreign nationality have been charged after a vessel was intercepted in the Arabian Sea. The U.S. Navy seized the ship, which was allegedly carrying Iranian-made weapons.
In a devastating turn of events, two brave Navy SEALs lost their lives during this operation. The fallen warriors were identified as Navy Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Christopher J. Chambers and Navy Special Warfare Operator 2nd Class Nathan Gage Ingram.
David Sundberg, Assistant Director of the FBI Washington Field Office, stated that these charges serve as a stern warning to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He stressed that any hostile actions from foreign governments will not go unchecked by the U.S..
The FBI and other U.S Government agencies pledge to persistently disrupt attempts by hostile foreign entities aiming to instill fear and inflict harm through violent means.
US-Owned Ship UNDER FIRE: Houthi Rebels Escalate Red Sea Tensions
— In a recent escalation of Red Sea tensions, Houthi rebels launched a missile attack on a U.S.-owned ship, the Gibraltar Eagle. The strike occurred off Yemen’s coast in the Gulf of Aden and comes less than a day after an anti-ship cruise missile targeted an American destroyer in the same area. Responsibility for these attacks has been claimed by the Houthis, following American-led strikes against rebel forces.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that this latest attack happened approximately 110 miles southeast of Aden. The captain of the ship reported that a missile struck the port side from above. Private security firms Ambrey and Dryad Global identified the attacked vessel as Eagle Gibraltar, registered under Marshall Islands’ flag as a bulk carrier.
The U.S military’s Central Command has confirmed this strike but reports no significant damage or injuries aboard Eagle Gibraltar which continues its voyage undeterred. Brigadier General Yahya Saree, Houthi military spokesman, took responsibility for this attack during his televised address on Monday night.
Saree declared all American and British ships involved in aggression against Yemen as hostile targets during his address. These attacks are causing disruptions to global shipping amidst Israel’s ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza — impacting vital routes linking Asian and Middle Eastern energy and cargo shipments to Europe via Suez

BIDEN’S Border Policy Slammed: Record Illegal Crossings Spark Outrage
— President Biden’s border policy is facing harsh criticism as illegal crossings hit record numbers. Republicans argue that the administration’s lenient stance encourages more migrants to attempt dangerous journeys. Texas Governor Greg Abbott stated, “The federal government has failed to secure our borders.”
Many conservative lawmakers are calling for stricter enforcement and immediate action. They believe stronger measures are necessary to protect American jobs and national security. Senator Ted Cruz emphasized, “We need a secure border to ensure the safety of our citizens.”
The Biden administration defends its approach, claiming it aims for a more humane immigration system. However, critics argue that this policy only worsens the crisis at the southern border. The debate continues as both sides push for their vision of immigration reform.
