According to the Civil Protection, three young people drowned on separate Skikda beaches on Monday. Three young males, ages 16, 20, and 29, had been discovered dead. The second victim, from the "Jardins" commune in the wilaya of Skikda, was recovered at Larbi Ben M'hidi beach, while the corpse of the first victim, from Oum El Bouaghi, was discovered near Kerbaz beach.
