A grenade launcher attack left one dead and two injured in North Sinai while the relevant services have opened investigations into the circumstances of the attack.
An Egyptian soldier was killed and two security force agents were injured during a grenade launcher attack against a checkpoint in North Sinai, where the authorities are continuing their security operations against armed groups active in this region.
The attack was carried out using a propelled grenade against a security force position.
The two injured officers were treated after the incident, while the competent services opened the necessary investigations into the circumstances of the attack.
North Sinai remains a sensitive region in terms of security, despite the operations carried out for several years by the Egyptian authorities to reduce the capacities of the armed groups present in
the peninsula.
Security forces maintain a reinforced presence in several sectors considered particularly exposed.
The authorities regularly carry out control, surveillance and security operations in order to protect public installations, roads and security posts deployed in this part of the territory.
The incidents recorded in recent years have led to a strengthening of prevention and intervention systems.
This new attack comes in a context where internal security remains a priority for the Egyptian authorities, who are continuing their efforts to sustainably stabilize the Sinai region and protect local populations.
Security operations are continuing in the sector concerned, while the relevant services continue to monitor developments on the ground.
