Seven civilians, including two young children, have been killed by a car bomb that exploded at a security checkpoint on the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt’s army says.
The military said it intercepted the vehicle at a checkpoint near the city of Arish, the capital of North Sinai province, on Monday and tried to contain the expected blast by running over the car with a tank.
However, the bomb exploded after the tank had driven away and the civilians nearby were caught in the blast, according to video released by the army.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Four gunmen were inside the vehicle, the army said.
