Several migrants have died while trying to cross the English Channel, it has been reported.
According to French media, the incident happened off the coast of Ambleteuse in the Pas-de-Calais region of northern France overnight.
It comes less than two weeks after 12 migrants died when their boat sank trying to cross the Channel.
A pregnant woman and six children were among those killed in the incident on September 3, with up to 65 people rescued off the coast of Cap Gris-Nez.
More than 30 people have died in Channel crossings so far this year.
