Crew members missing after British cargo ship in crash in North Sea
A British cargo ship has reportedly sunk off the coast of Germany following a collision, with several people missing as rescuers search for survivors. Two cargo ships crashed into each other in the North Sea, according to German authorities. The ships, Polesie and Verity, collided in the early morning about 14 nautical miles south-west of the island of Helgoland, Germany’s Central Command for Maritime Emergencies said. The British-flagged Verity, apparently sank, while the Polesie remains waterborne with its 22 passengers. One person was rescued from the water and is being given medical treatment, while rescue parties are searching for several more people who remain unaccounted for. The search operation currently includes a rescue cruiser, police boats, sensor aircraft and a helicopter among other vessels. According to reports, the P&O cruise ship Iona is among those that have joined the search, alongside the rescue cruisers ‘Hermann Marwede’ and ‘Bernhard Gruben’. The emergency command said the British ship, which measures 91ft, was headed from Bremen, Germany, to the English port of Immingham.

Ukraine-Russia war - live: Putin sends more soldiers to frontline as 800 children evacuated from Kherson
Vladimir Putin has pushed more troops to the frontline in Avdiivka, Ukraine, despite a failing offensive which has incurred heavy losses. The reinforcements are set to arrive after Russian soldiers have become bogged down there in recent weeks, the ISW reported, citing Russian military bloggers. Russian assaults in Avdiivka have contributed to “a 90 per cent increase in Russian casualties”, the Ukrainian ministry of defence claimed. It comes as Ukrainian authorities ordered a mandatory evacuation of 802 children from 23 settlements in Kherson, according to the Reintegration ministry. The children with their parents or legal guardians will leave the Beryslav, Kakhovka, and Kherson districts for safer regions, the ministry said on Telegram. Meanwhile, Russia has amassed “150,000-190,000 permanent casualties” in the war with Ukraine, the UK defence ministry said. In other developments, six people have been killed in a Russian missile attack that hit a postal distribution centre in Kharkiv, Ukrainian officials have said, as Kherson has seen a record number of bomb attacks in the past 24 hours.
