CAIRO (AA) – At least eight Egyptian policemen were killed in a deadly attack in southern Cairo early Sunday, Egypt’s Interior Ministry has said.
In a statement, the ministry said that unidentified perpetrators had opened fire on a vehicle carrying police personnel in southern Cairo’s Helwan district.
“Eight police personnel, including an officer, were killed,” the ministry said.
There has been no claim of responsibility for Sunday’s attack.
Egypt has been hacked by turmoil and violence since the military unseated Mohamed Morsi, the country’s first freely elected president, in a 2013 military coup.
