Security officials on Sunday said a shark attacked and killed an elderly German tourist at a Red Sea resort near Sharm al-Sheikh, just a few days after a shark attacked and maimed three Russians and a Ukrainian tourist.
The officials added that the 70-year-old German died immediately after her arm was cut off by the shark while she swam at Gharqana, a location near the resort.
After last week's attack, authorities ordered people to stay out of the waters around the town.
Egyptian Environment Ministry on Thursday said two sharks suspected of mauling the tourists were caught by authorities.
