Egypt announced Sunday that its military has killed several suspected militants, including two local commanders, in northern Sinai as it continues its operation against terrorists in the peninsula.
Several terrorists were killed in an air strike on a militant outpost, confirmed the military spokesman on his official Facebook page.
He stressed that the armed forces will continue their efforts to eliminate terrorism in northern Sinai and bolster security efforts to develop the peninsula.
The army has been battling a long-running insurgency in the northern Sinai.
The fighting intensified after the ouster in 2013 of President Mohammed Morsi, of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.
The military launched in February 2018 a comprehensive operation to eliminate terrorism from northern Sinai.
