An Israeli woman in her 30s was killed in a skydiving accident in the Czech Republic, the Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

The incident took place outside of Prague.

The woman’s family has been notified, and the Foreign Ministry was working with the local authorities to bring her body to Israel for burial.

The victim’s name was not initially released.

Last month, an Israeli tourist was killed in a skydiving accident in Macedonia, while training for an international competition. Ron Ashuah, 55, of Kfar Vitkin, plummeted to his death during a practice dive.

That week, in a separate incident, an Israeli man in his 50s fell to his death during a trek in Andorra.
