At least six people are feared dead after a tourist submarine sank off in the Egyptian Red Sea.
Multiple ambulances have been deployed to the coastal city of Hurghada which is popular with British travellers, with at least another nine people injured.
The submarine called Sindbad has been in operation for years and sank close to the harbour, according to reports.
The injured, including four in critical condition, were taken to nearby hospitals. Twenty-nine other passengers were rescued.
An advert by Sinbad Club, who are believed to operate the tourist submarine, states: “Enjoy the breath-taking view in the air-conditioned comfort and safety of our submarine.
“It offers 44 passenger seats, two pilot’s seats and a sizeable round viewing window for each passenger.
“Experience the beauty of the Red Sea underwater world without getting wet.”
