Egyptian authorities have closed several beaches on the country’s Red Sea coast after two female tourists were killed in shark attacks.
One was a 68-year-old Austrian who had an arm torn off while swimming near the city of Hurghada on Friday, the regional governor said.
Shark attacks are rare in the Red Sea, but there have been several incidents involving tourists in recent years.
The environment ministry said was working to identify the circumstances of the latest attacks. END
