An explosion at a mosque during Friday prayers claims so many lives. Egypt has been fighting jihadist militants in the northern Sinai Peninsula since they pledged allegiance to Daesh in 2014.
An explosion has occurred at Al Rawdah mosque, in the north of Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, killing at least 75 people and reportedly injuring about 150. No groups claimed the responsibility for the attack.
According to reports, the explosion that took place during Friday’s prayers has been followed by gunfire. The Health Ministry urgently sent dozens of ambulances to the scene for the rescue operation.
According to an Egyptian lawmaker, the terrorists were masked and surrounded the mosque during prayers. Then they entered the building, while a number of them wore explosive belts. Egyptian President Sisi is reportedly set to hold a top-level emergency security meeting after the bombing.
