Egypt's security services have started to search for those responsible for the explosion. They also conducted searches in the area of the incident, looking for possible explosives.

​No terror group has claimed responsibility for the incident yet.

Cairo has been battling Islamic insurgents on the Senai Peninsula for years. Police and security forces, as well as civilians, have frequently been the target of deadly attacks staged by Islamists.

Earlier this year, the Egyptian Armed Forces and the Interior Ministry launched Comprehensive Operation — Sinai, a major anti-terrorist offensive. Since then, hundreds of militants were killed and detained.

The attack comes as the Egyptian tourism sector is recovering following years of crisis that followed the 2011 Arab Spring uprising that ended with the toppling of then-leader Hosni Mubarak.
