Egyptian police on Sunday killed nine suspected militants in a shootout near Cairo, the state-run Middle East News Agency reported.
Five police officers were injured in the shootout that took place in the neighbourhood of Agouza, Giza governorate, during a raid on two suspected terrorist hideouts, MENA added.
On August 15, two alleged militants were killed in a shootout with Egyptian security forces in the village of al-Khosous, in al-Qaliubiya governorate.
Egypt has seen a series of terror attacks, mainly targeting security forces, since the ousting of Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
