Sydney, Australia: A surfer has died after being attacked by a shark at a well‑known Sydney beach early Sunday morning.
Emergency services were called to the scene after witnesses reported seeing the man pulled underwater. Despite rapid response from lifeguards and paramedics, he could not be revived. Authorities have not yet released the victim’s identity but confirmed he was in his 30s.
The beach has been closed while surf lifesaving crews and the Department of Primary Industries conduct patrols and deploy shark‑spotting drones. Local officials have urged the public to heed safety warnings and avoid entering the water until further notice.
The incident is the latest in a series of shark encounters along Australia’s east coast this year, prompting renewed debate over the use of nets, drumlines, and other deterrent measures.
