Second victim injured
Tourist killed by shark in the Red Sea
A tourist from Italy has been killed and another injured in a shark attack in south-eastern Egypt. Environment Minister Jasmin Fuad announced a thorough investigation into the incident.
The affected beach section in Marsa Alam on the Red Sea will be closed for two days.
Attack in deep water
According to the ministry, the attack occurred in deep water outside the actual swimming area.
According to the Italian news agencies Ansa and Adnkronos, the victims were two Italians. Ansa also described the victim as a "diver".
Shark attacks are relatively rare worldwide, with many more people dying every year from snake bites or dog attacks, for example. However, they do cause quite a stir. On Saturday, an angler was killed by a shark off the north-east coast of Australia.
