Emergency services have launched a major operation after reports a Russian bulk carrier ship has grounded on a British beach.

The Kuzma Minin is reported to be stranded off Gyllyngvase Beach in Falmouth in Cornwall.

The RNLI launched out of Falmouth just after 6am with pilot boats from the nearby docks also in the water.

Witnesses have taken pictures of the boat close to the shore. It comes after the Met Office issued a yellow warning of severe weather with 65mph winds forecast.

Gales have already been recorded at up to 74mph in Cornwall and 40knots on the River Tamar – disrupting traffic.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
