Woman killed by shark in Australia - man seriously injured!
On November 27, 2025, a tragic shark attack occurred off the coast of New South Wales, Australia, killing a woman and seriously injuring a man. Loud vienna.at The incident happened in the morning when both victims were in the water and were suddenly attacked by a shark. The woman died at the scene of the accident, while the man was taken to hospital with serious leg injuries.
The attack occurred near the beach in Crowdy Bay, about 250 kilometers north of Sydney, and is part of worrying statistics: more than 1,280 shark incidents have been recorded in Australia since 1791, of which more than 250 were fatal. These numbers highlight the dangers associated with swimming in the incoming waters.
Statistics and regional differences
Global statistics from the University of Florida show that the aggressiveness of shark attacks varies by region. According to a study published on February 11, 2025 on the Statista platform, the USA and Australia recorded the most attacks. Access to this data was made possible on November 27, 2025 ( Statista ). The most common attackers are great white sharks, tiger sharks and bull sharks, which are responsible for the vast majority of attacks and often have fatal consequences.
Many attacks also occur in the Red Sea, often from tiger sharks. The average number of unprovoked shark attacks per year is over 60, with most resulting in only minor injuries. Only a few end fatally. However, every incident is a significant tragedy for the people affected and their families.
Global hotspots and security measures
Experts point out that most attacks occur on coasts, often against swimmers and surfers. The dangers are not limited to Australia and the USA; There are regions around the world that are considered hotspots. One incident that recently attracted attention in Europe was the injury of an 85-year-old tourist at Ballermann, where a shark alarm was raised ( RND ). Despite speculation about the shark's species, attacks in the Mediterranean over the past decade have largely been non-lethal.
To reduce the risk of a shark attack, experts recommend not swimming alone, avoiding dusk, avoiding areas rich in fish and not wearing jewelry. In the event of an attack, you should try to scare the shark away by punching and kicking sensitive areas such as the nose, eyes or gills.
