Russian Surfer Injured in Shark Incident at Balian Beach, Bali
On June 1, 2022, Russian surfer Sasha Utkina was bitten by a shark while surfing at Balian Beach in Bali, Indonesia. The beach, known for previous shark incidents, is located on the west side of the island, where a river empties into the ocean.
Utkina sustained lacerations to her foot and received treatment at a local hospital. The shark involved was believed to be a small bull shark.
Balian Beach has a history of shark bites, particularly after heavy rains, which cause murky water conditions.
