Four blasts hit Cairo on Friday, targeting the police HQ, a metro station, a police station and a cinema. The apparent string of militant attacks claimed at least six lives and injured scores more.
The latest explosion was reported on Friday evening near a movie theater in the capital, Egypt’s interior ministry said. One person has so far been reported dead in the attack, bringing the total number of dead to six.
Earlier in the day, a third blast was reported near a police station in the suburbs of the Egyptian capital. The explosion, in the west Cairo Talebiya district on the main road leading to the Giza pyramids, caused no fatalities.
Minutes earlier a blast killed at least one person and injured 15 near the Behooth subway station. State TV reported that it was caused by a crude explosive device.
But a conflicting report said the blast happened in a drive-by attack on security vehicles, in which the attacker threw a hand grenade, RT informs.
