A Russian man, Vladimir Popov, was mauled to death by a tiger shark in Hurghada, Egypt, while on vacation with his father. The shark was later caught and beaten to death on the beach in retaliation. Popov's remains were found inside the shark's intestines.

Popov's girlfriend was also in the water during the attack but escaped unharmed. The attack took place in an area where children often swim, and the beach where it happened had previously been the site of a shark attack in 2022 that claimed the life of a 68-year-old Austrian woman. Popov's family had recently moved to Egypt to escape the war in Ukraine.
