At least four Russians died after a tourist submarine sank off the coast Hurghada, Egypt, on March 27.
The Russian Embassy in Egypt said all 45 tourists aboard the Sindbad were Russian citizens, confirming four fatalities while the fate of several others remained unknown.
It was unclear where the crew was from or whether they were among the dead.
“Most of those on board were rescued and taken to their hotels and hospitals in Hurghada,” the embassy said in a statement.
Local officials said that six people died and nine were injured in the incident.
It was not immediately clear what caused the submarine to sink in the popular Red Sea resort.
