According to the Associated Press, six people were killed after a submarine carrying 45 Russian tourists sank off the beaches in the Red Sea resort of Hurghada — with 29 people in all being rescued.
The submarine reportedly belonged to the Sindbad Hotel in Hurghada. At around 10 a.m. on Thursday, it embarked on a regularly planned tour of coral reefs, sinking about a half mile off the beach.
The Russian consulate announced that those rescued were taken to local hospitals and “are now in stable condition.”
The cause of the submarine’s plunge is currently unclear.
