A bomb exploded Friday morning in Zagazig city in Sharqeya North of Cairo, said state-run MENA.

The bomb targeted the railway line. No injuries or casualties were reported.

Similar explosions occur nationwide targeting security personnel, officers, buildings and public facilities.

Thursday morning, a bomb explosion targeted the National Security building and the court located in Shubra El-Kheima. At least 29 were injured as a result.

Affiliates of the “Islamic State” terrorist group in Egypt, known as “State of Sinai”, claimed responsibility for the incident “to avenge six young men who were executed last March, after being charged of forming a terrorist cell in Qaliubiya named ‘Arab Sharkas’”, according to a statement by the militants.
