This suspension, aimed at thorough investigation and implementation of safety measures, is an uncommon occurrence in a country where shark attacks are seldom reported.

The victim of this chilling encounter was a 23-year-old permanent resident of Egypt, Vladimir Popov. Russian media sources were among the first to report the devastating incident.

A distressing video documenting the attack depicted the harrowing scene of Vladimir suddenly being pulled under the water, battling the shark amidst desperate cries for help.

Tragically, onlookers included Vladimir’s father, Yury Popov, who witnessed the traumatic incident unfold. “We went to the beach to relax,” Yury lamented to the 112 media outlet, recounting the horrifying incident where his son was dragged underwater in a matter of seconds.

In the wake of this unfortunate event, the Russian Consul-General, Viktor Voropayev, confirmed the news of the Russian national’s demise to the state-owned TASS news agency. “The victim was not a tourist, but a permanent resident of Egypt,” Voropayev clarified.

This traumatic event not only caused an indelible scar on the bereaved family but also left onlookers and locals in a state of shock.

“I immediately felt that it was a shark. I immediately jumped up and started shouting: ‘Sharks, sharks! Save yourself!’ Nobody understood yet.”

In the face of such tragedy, the Egyptian authorities are taking stringent measures to ensure the safety of their residents and visitors.

Their prompt response aims at maintaining Egypt’s reputation as a safe and welcoming destination for millions of tourists flocking to its beautiful coastal resorts each year.
