Swimmer killed in shark attack at popular Western Australia beach

A man died after being attacked by a shark while swimming at Sorrento Beach in Western Australia, according to local authorities. This incident marks another in a series of recent shark attacks in the region, including a surfer who lost his foot in an attack earlier this week. Emergency services responded to the incident, which occurred around 10:30 a.m. local time, but the swimmer succumbed to his injuries. Sorrento Beach, located approximately 20 kilometers from Perth, was closed following the attack. A 5-meter white shark was later reported near Boyinaboat reef, though there was no confirmation it was the attacker. Other recent incidents include a fatal spearfishing attack in June and a deadly shark attack on an island near Perth in May.
