A limited explosion occurred late night yesterday inside a car near a Cairo military hospital, Egypt´s interior ministry said, hours before the first anniversary of deposed president Mohamed Morsi´s military ouster.
Police arrested one of two men who were in the car while the second managed to escape, interior ministry spokesman Hani Abdel Latif told the media, adding that the cause of the blast was still unknown and there were no casualties.
A security official however told the media that a small bomb had exploded under the car near an Air Force hospital in a northern Cairo neighbourhood.
Militants have stepped up their attacks against security forces since the army ousted Islamist president Morsi last July and the military-installed authorities launched a deadly crackdown on his supporters.
