Six tourists were killed and 39 rescued when a submarine sank in the Egyptian Red Sea, the local governor confirms

The accident happened around one kilometre off the coast of Hurghada

The governor says the tourists were from Russia, Norway, Sweden, and India - all six who died were Russian

In November, a tourist boat called the Sea Story sank in Hurghada, leaving 11 dead or missing - including a British couple - and 35 survivors

The question is why these incidents keep happening, writes Sally Nabil from Cairo
