A shark has killed an elderly German tourist at an Egyptian Red Sea resort, a few days after three Russians and a Ukrainian tourist were badly mauled in shark attacks.
Officials said the tourist died immediately after her arm was cut off by the shark while she was swimming off Sharm el-Sheikh, a renowned diving and vacation resort.
After last week’s attacks by oceanic white tip sharks, authorities ordered people to stay out of the water around Sharm el-Sheikh.
On Thursday, the Environment Ministry said two sharks suspected of mauling the four tourists were caught.
