Una donna di circa 30 anni è rimasta gravemente ferita in seguito a un attacco di squalo avvenuto nelle acque antistanti Coogee Beach, a Sydney, in Australia. La vittima è stata prontamente soccorsa dopo l’aggressione, che le ha causato serie lacerazioni a una gamba e a un braccio. La donna è stata trasportata d’urgenza in ospedale, dove si trova attualmente ricoverata in condizioni critiche. Le spiagge della zona est di Sydney sono state chiuse in seguito al grave incidente.

Come riporta il The Guardian, il servizio di salvataggio Surf Life Saving NSW (SLSNSW) ha dichiarato che la donna è stata portata in ospedale “semi-cosciente e in grado di respirare”. Un portavoce della polizia del Nuovo Galles del Sud ha affermato che la donna “è stata tirata fuori dall’acqua da alcuni passanti che le hanno prestato i primi soccorsi in attesa dell’arrivo dei servizi di emergenza”.

“La polizia ha prestato i primi soccorsi alla donna, che si ritiene abbia circa 30 anni, la quale ha riportato gravi ferite a braccia e gambe, prima dell’arrivo dei paramedici del servizio di ambulanza del Nuovo Galles del Sud”, hanno dichiarato le forze dell’ordine.

La polizia ha provveduto a sgomberare il vicino Coogee Oval per permettere l’atterraggio dell’elicottero dei soccorsi, prontamente intervenuto per trasportare la donna in ospedale. Un frequentatore abituale della spiaggia di Coogee, presente al momento dell’attacco, ha riferito che uno dei componenti del suo gruppo aveva udito un grido prima che venisse lanciato l’allarme squalo. Il gruppo si è immediatamente avvicinato, constatando che qualcosa di grave era accaduto a circa trenta metri di distanza.

A 30-year-old woman was rushed to a hospital Saturday with serious injuries after being attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach, the latest in a string of recent shark attacks off Australia's coast.

Officials said emergency crews responded to Coogee Beach on Saturday morning following reports that a swimmer had been bitten.

The woman was airlifted to a hospital for treatment, police said in a statement.

"The woman was pulled from ⁠the water by members of the public who commenced ​first aid," police said.

Just days earlier, on May 16, 38-year-old Steve Mattabonni was killed in a suspected great white shark attack near Rottnest Island, a popular tourist destination off Western Australia.

Earlier this year, a 12-year-old also died following a shark attack in Sydney Harbour.

Dozens of beaches along Australia's east coast were temporarily closed in January after four shark attacks were reported over a two-day period.

Officials said heavy rain had created murky water conditions that may have attracted sharks while reducing visibility.

Australia averages about 20 shark attacks each year, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.

Uma mulher que nadava em uma praia de Sydney ficou gravemente ferida após ser atacada por um tubarão neste sábado (13), informaram as autoridades. O caso é o mais recente de uma série de ataques registrados ao longo da costa australiana.

Os serviços de emergência foram acionados pela manhã para a praia de Coogee, na zona leste de Sydney, a maior cidade da Austrália, após relatos de que a mulher, de 35 anos, havia sido mordida por um grande tubarão a cerca de 30 metros da costa.

“A mulher foi retirada da água por pessoas que estavam no local, que iniciaram os primeiros socorros”, informou a polícia em comunicado, acrescentando que a vítima sofreu ferimentos graves nos braços e nas pernas.

“Ela tem grandes lacerações nas pernas e nos braços que vão exigir várias cirurgias”, disse o inspetor Mike Corlis, do serviço de ambulâncias do estado de Nova Gales do Sul, a jornalistas na praia de Coogee.

A praia de Coogee e outras localizadas na área administrativa do Conselho de Randwick foram fechadas por 24 horas após o ataque.

“Trabalharemos em estreita colaboração com o governo de Nova Gales do Sul, aguardando orientações sobre quando será seguro reabrir”, afirmou o prefeito do conselho, Dylan Parker.

Uma testemunha do ataque, Nicola Logan, disse à Reuters na praia de Coogee que viu uma “enorme poça de sangue” na água. Em seguida, observou “uma mulher tentando nadar, muita agitação na água, e então uma pessoa em um caiaque de resgate tentando trazê-la de volta para a praia”.

Uma semana antes, um homem morreu após ser atacado por um tubarão enquanto pescava na costa do estado da Austrália Ocidental, no mais recente incidente fatal.

No mês passado, um homem de 39 anos morreu após ser atacado enquanto pescava na Grande Barreira de Corais, no estado de Queensland. Dez dias antes, outro homem, de 38 anos, foi morto por um tubarão próximo a uma ilha perto de Perth, também na Austrália Ocidental.

Dezenas de praias ao longo da costa leste da Austrália, incluindo em Sydney, foram fechadas em janeiro após quatro ataques de tubarão em apenas dois dias. Os incidentes ocorreram depois de fortes chuvas que deixaram a água turva, atraindo tubarões e reduzindo a visibilidade.

A maioria dos ataques de tubarão ocorre ao longo das costas leste e sudeste da Austrália, onde são registrados, em média, cerca de 20 incidentes desse tipo por ano, segundo o Instituto Australiano de Saúde e Bem-Estar.

South Australian Liberal Tony Pasin says parties should ‘work hand-in-glove’ to defeat Labor at the next election

Splits are appearing inside the Liberal party about how to deal with Pauline Hanson, after one opposition MP at risk of losing his seat to One Nation said the two conservative parties should cooperate and not run against each other – a plan rejected by Angus Taylor and other senior colleagues.

With One Nation leading the Coalition and Labor in published opinion polls, Hanson’s threat to target government-held seats has recharged debate about whether the surge will see rightwing politicians cooperate or cannibalise each other’s votes.

Inmates in Western Australia are sleeping on mattresses on the floor of overcrowded cells and subjected to “cruel, inhuman and degrading” conditions, prompting the jails watchdog to call for urgent reform.

Most of WA’s correctional facilities are in crisis, with an increased level of harm observed across the system, the state’s inspector of custodial services, Eamon Ryan, said in a report tabled in parliament on Tuesday.

Federal environment department says Black Mountain Energy has provided insufficient data as it seeks to drill 20 gas wells in the Kimberley region

The federal government has repeatedly raised concerns about an American company’s bid to frack for gas in Western Australia’s Kimberley region, part of the world’s largest and most intact tropical savanna.

Texas-based Black Mountain Energy, through its subsidiary Bennett Resources, is seeking federal approval to drill 20 gas wells for its Valhalla project west of Fitzroy Crossing.

Greek authorities have arrested a 55-year-old Greek-Australian fugitive wanted for a 1999 murder in Sydney, ending a 27-year international manhunt. James Dalamangas, the target of a longstanding Interpol Red Notice, was apprehended in the Peloponnesian town of Aigio, near Patras, where he had been living off the grid under a false identity.

The arrest is a major development in a cold case that has spanned nearly three decades. Dalamangas is the prime suspect in the murder of Greek expatriate George Giannopoulos.

Who did Dalamangas kill in Sydney in 1999

The fatal incident occurred in 1999 at a nightclub in Sydney, Australia. According to the case file, Giannopoulos attempted to act as a peacemaker, stepping in to stop a violent brawl that had erupted between two patrons. During his intervention, Dalamangas allegedly launched a sudden attack, inflicting fatal knife wounds on the victim. While Australian law enforcement issued an arrest warrant within 24 hours of the stabbing, the suspect managed to flee Australia and escape to Greece before he could be detained.

For 27 years, Dalamangas lived undetected in the Aigialeia region, specifically in the Alsos community. He adopted the alias “Antonios Tzimas” to integrate into the local society, leaning on his family ties to the area, as his mother originally hailed from the nearby village of Temeni.

To maintain his cover, he resided in a property described by local media as a fortress. The house was entirely enclosed by high walls and guarded by a large pack of aggressive dogs, apparently a deliberate measure designed to prevent anyone from approaching the premises uninvited.

Greek police recently obtained significant intelligence regarding his exact whereabouts and initiated a strict stakeout. Officers maintained continuous surveillance outside the fortified compound for three days, waiting for the suspect to make a mistake. The operation concluded successfully when Dalamangas exited the property, accompanied by his father and his partner.

Officers immediately intercepted the group and requested identification. The 55-year-old initially stuck to his cover story, giving his alias. Because authorities possessed concrete proof regarding his true identity, they brought him in for further questioning. Faced with persistent interrogation at the police station, he ultimately confessed to being the fugitive wanted by Australian authorities since 1999. Following the admission, investigators searched the Aigio property to determine if he possessed additional forged documents. The search yielded a crossbow and various sharp objects.

What will happen to Dalamangas now

Dalamangas is currently held at the Aigio police headquarters. He is scheduled to appear before the appeals prosecutor in Patras on Monday, June 8, 2026. This hearing will initiate the official judicial procedures required for his extradition back to Australia.

The successful capture drew praise from the commander of the Aigio Security Department, who played a central role in coordinating the raid.

A fisherman was killed late Saturday morning after an attack by a suspected nearly 15-foot shark off the coast of Western Australia.

The unidentified 35-year-old was spearfishing near Michaelmas Island, a protected sand cay on the Great Barrier Reef not far from the city of Albany.

The island is around 240 miles south of Perth, the state’s capital.

His was the third fatal shark attack in the country in less than a month.

SHARK ATTACK DEATHS SURGE ABOVE DECADE AVERAGE IN 2025

The man was brought by boat to shore, but paramedics weren’t able to revive him.

On May 24, 39-year-old Michael Jensz was killed after suffering head injuries while spearfishing along the Great Barrier Reef off the country’s northeast coast. 

A bull shark is suspected in his death.

On May 16, 38-year-old Steve Mattabonni was killed by a white shark at Rottnest Island, a popular resort in Western Australia. He was also spearfishing.

In January, a 12-year-old also died a week after he was attacked by a shark in Sydney Harbor.

Australia usually averages around three shark deaths per year.

"We do see an increase in larger sharks this time of the year, particularly chasing the sardine and the salmon along the coast, which is quite normal," commercial fisherman Gregory Sharp told the Australian Broadcasting Company Saturday.

He added that sharks also tend to attack in areas "where there's a lot of seals, and the island area in King George Sound is renowned for seals."

Michaelmas Island is located in King George Sound.

Western Australia Premier Roger Cook said in a Facebook post Saturday that he was deeply saddened to hear of this morning's fatal shark attack in Albany. 

This is a tragedy and my thoughts are with the victim's family and friends, as well as the first responders."

Un pescatore subacqueo di 35 anni è morto dopo essere stato attaccato da uno squalo al largo della costa occidentale australiana. L’incidente, avvenuto sabato nei pressi di Michaelmas Island, vicino alla città portuale di Albany, rappresenta il terzo attacco mortale registrato in Australia nelle ultime quattro settimane, una serie di episodi che sta attirando l’attenzione delle autorità e degli esperti.

Secondo quanto riferito dalla polizia, l’uomo stava praticando pesca in apnea insieme ai familiari quando è stato assalito poco prima di mezzogiorno. I presenti hanno immediatamente lanciato l’allarme e la vittima è stata riportata in barca fino ad Albany, dove ad attenderla c’erano già i soccorritori. Nonostante il rapido intervento dei paramedici, le ferite riportate si sono rivelate troppo gravi e per il trentacinquenne non c’è stato nulla da fare. Le prime valutazioni degli esperti indicano che l’attacco sarebbe stato compiuto da un grande squalo bianco lungo circa quattro metri e mezzo. Le autorità hanno avviato accertamenti per ricostruire con precisione la dinamica dell’incidente e monitorare la presenza del predatore nell’area.

L’episodio si inserisce in una sequenza particolarmente insolita per l’Australia, Paese che ospita alcune delle specie di squalo più temute al mondo ma che, nonostante l’enorme estensione delle sue coste e la diffusione delle attività acquatiche, registra mediamente meno di tre vittime all’anno per attacchi di questi animali.

L’ultima tragedia risaliva a poche settimane fa. Il 24 maggio il pescatore subacqueo Michael Jensz, 39 anni, era morto dopo essere stato attaccato nelle acque della Great Barrier Reef, al largo della costa nord-orientale del Paese. In quel caso l’uomo aveva riportato devastanti ferite alla testa e nella zona erano stati segnalati squali toro.

Ancora prima, il 16 maggio, un altro attacco mortale aveva sconvolto la comunità australiana. A perdere la vita era stato il trentottenne Steve Mattabonni, assalito da uno squalo bianco lungo circa quattro metri nelle acque di Rottnest Island, al largo della costa occidentale.

Tre morti in meno di un mese costituiscono una circostanza rara anche per un Paese che convive da sempre con la presenza degli squali. Gli esperti sottolineano che gli attacchi restano eventi eccezionali rispetto ai milioni di persone che ogni anno frequentano spiagge e aree marine australiane. Tuttavia, la concentrazione di episodi avvenuti in un arco di tempo così ristretto ha inevitabilmente alimentato preoccupazioni tra pescatori, subacquei e frequentatori delle coste.

Le autorità locali continuano a monitorare le zone interessate dagli ultimi incidenti e invitano chi pratica attività in mare a seguire con attenzione gli avvisi di sicurezza, soprattutto nelle aree dove sono stati segnalati grandi predatori.
