According to initial reports, an attacker armed with a knife killed two Ukrainian tourists and injured four others, three Serbian nationals and one Polish national, at the Hurghada resort on the Red Sea, EGYPT.

Security forces arrested the suspect following the attack. Reports indicated that the attacker deliberately targeted foreign nationals. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, though the Islamic State militant group has targeted tourists before, claiming responsibility for the downing of a Russian passenger aircraft in the Sinai in October 2015.

There is likely to be an increased presence of security forces around tourist areas in Egypt, particularly Red Sea resorts.

The incident may prompt foreign nationals to cut short visits to Egypt, potentially contributing to disruption to flights from Hurghada and other airports. Please be aware of this and adjust your travel plans accordingly.
