SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australian authorities on Sunday deployed drones and a helicopter to monitor the waters around a popular Sydney beach after a surfer was killed by a great white shark on Saturday, officials said.
Two beaches in Australia's most populous city remained closed on Sunday after the attack on Saturday morning that took place about 100 m (328 ft) from shore while the man was surfing with friends at Long Reef Beach, in the north of the New South Wales state capital.
