In a tragic incident on the Pacific coast of Mexico, a woman was killed in a horrific shark attack at a beach resort in melaky Bay, Municipality of sihuatlan. The incident, which occurred on Saturday, struck terror into the hearts of the local community and led to the closure of local beaches.

The municipal government of sihuatlan, for its part, issued a warning via Facebook, emphasizing the priority of the safety and well-being of citizens, and calling on them to stay away from the beaches until the situation is brought under control. In a similar warning, the government of the nearby municipality of La Huerta alerted citizens to the presence of a shark in the area, noting the danger that this presence represents on the southern coast of Jalisco.

Reports indicate that the victim had one of her legs amputated, and it is believed that the injury was caused by a shark attack.
