Six dead after tourist submarine sinks in Red Sea

Six people have died after a tourist submarine sank in Egypt’s Red Sea.
Local officials say 39 others were rescued after the vessel sank at around 10:00 local time. Unconfirmed reports suggested the vessel hit a reef and lost pressure.
Two married doctors are among those who have died and their daughters remain in hospital, authorities said. A Russian official said that two others who died were children, according to Tass, Russia’s state-owned news agency.
This is the second incident involving a tourist vessel in the Red Sea in recent months. In November, a boat capsized near Marsa Allam, which left 11 people missing, presumed dead.
The Red Sea governor, Amr Hanafy, said passengers on the “Sindbad” were from Russia, India, Norway and Sweden. Five Egyptian crew members were also on board.
