A 12-year-old girl and 17-year-old boy have died after getting into difficulties in the sea off Bournemouth Pier.
Several other people, who are all thought to be children, were also treated for non-life-threatening injuries in a huge "multi-agency operation" on Wednesday afternoon, the Mirror reports.
Police have confirmed a man in his 40s has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter in connection with the deaths and an investigation has been launched.
