American Detained for Unauthorized Entry to Restricted North Sentinel Island

  • An American tourist, Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, was arrested for illegally visiting North Sentinel Island, home to the isolated Sentinelese tribe, on March 31, 2025, according to local police.
  • Polyakov attempted to contact the tribe with offerings but was ignored, spending only five minutes on the island, as noted by authorities.
