2 European tourists killed in Red Sea shark attacks off Egyptian coast
Euronews says A ROMANIAN AND AN AUSTRIAN have been killed in shark attacks within three days off the Red Sea coast of Egypt.
Romania’s Foreign Ministry confirmed that a female tourist from the country was killed while vacationing on Sunday.
A 68-year-old Austrian woman died on Friday in another attack while swimming near the resort town of Hurghada.
It is still unclear whether the attacks were caused by the same shark.
