TL;DR Summary

A 23-year-old Russian tourist was killed by a tiger shark while swimming in the Red Sea in Hurghada, Egypt. The victim's father watched helplessly as the shark dragged his son under the water. Locals captured and killed the shark in revenge. The incident prompted authorities to close off a 46-mile stretch of coastline until Sunday. Shark attacks are rare in the Red Sea coastal regions, but there were two fatal attacks in Hurghada in 2022. Egypt has been trying to revive its tourism sector, which has been hit by political instability, the pandemic, and the war in Ukraine.
