BREAKING: 4 Russians Died As Submarine Carrying 44 Passengers Sinks During Trip To Red Sea

A tourist submarine sank off the coast of Egypt during a trip to the Red Sea, with at least six people feared dead.

Four more people are in critical condition, with nine others left injured in the incident.

The submarine, named Sindbad, was conveying around 44 passengers before it sank on Thursday, as it sailed off the coast of Hurghada.

Rescue services have so far managed to save 29 people.

NBC News, citing the Russian embassy in Cairo, revealed four Russian citizens were among the deceased following the incident.

The Red Sea Security Directorate received a report of the tourist submarine sinking, which took place close to the harbour in front of the marina of a ‘famous hotel’ that has not yet been named in local media.

At least 21 ambulances have been dispatched to the scene and are transporting the injured travellers to hospital.
