Egypt: 7 killed in Sinai terror attacks claimed by Ansar Bait Al-Maqdis (Wilayat Sinai) group
As Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud commenced his first official visit to Egypt, ISIS-affiliated militants launched an attack in the North Sinai region killing seven people and wounding 15.
According to MENA, the attacks, which Ansar Bait Al-Maqdis (Wilayat Sinai) claimed responsibility for on social media, killed six Egyptian military personnel and one female civilian.
The deaths occurred after two armored personnel carriers were targeted by explosive devices planted on the side of the road in Rafah and Sheikh Zuweid.
Despite local media reporting the incidents, Egypt’s Military is yet to release an official statement.
