A female swimmer has died in a shark attack in the waters off a popular tourist spot on Australia’s east coast, authorities said.

The attack was the second shark fatality in the country's waters this year, about a month after surfer Lance Appleby was killed off the Southern Australia coast, per BBC and CBS News. It was also the third attack in Queensland in less than three months, ABC News reported.

An Australian teenager from near Brisbane died on Monday after being bitten by a shark nearly 100 yards from the beach, according to reports.
