SUMMARY

Clashes broke out between riot police and migrants in northern France early Friday morning. Projectiles were thrown, and fires were lit in Gravelines, where a confrontation occurred as police intervened to stop a small boat launch likely headed for Britain.

Many migrants were seen wearing life jackets as they faced off against officers equipped with shields and tear gas.

The incident lasted about 20 minutes, with police using tear gas to disperse the crowd. Just a day prior, migrants were filmed boarding a dangerously overcrowded dinghy at Gravelines beach.
