At least 14 people have been killed in two bomb attacks in the Sinai peninsula, according to Egyptian security forces.
A roadside bomb targeting an armoured vehicle killed at least 6 Egyptian soldiers in the town of Sheikh Zuweid, whilst as many as 8 people were killed in a bomb reportedly targeting a police station in El-Arish.
The Egyptian army blamed "terrorist and extremist elements" for both attacks, with the twitter account for the the Sinai Province group, linked to the Islamic State, also claiming responsibility for the attack.
