The east coast of Australia is facing an unprecedented panic due to a series of violent shark attacks that occurred in less than 48 hours.

Four people, including two children, have been victims of marine predators, prompting authorities to urgently close dozens of beaches and issue unusual warnings. The latest attack occurred on January 19, when a 39-year-old man sustained minor injuries after a shark bit his surfboard. In contrast, a 13-year-old teenager and a 20-year-old man suffered critical injuries in previous attacks, and their condition is extremely serious.

Experts suggest that recent rains have created ideal conditions for bull sharks, and authorities have advised the public to avoid swimming in the ocean, recommending local pools as an alternative. Lifeguards have intensified patrols with drones and helicopters to monitor the situation.
