A bomb detonated late Wednesday near Cairo's Azbakeya police station leaving two citizens injured, MENA reported.

Media spokesperson for the interior ministry announced late on Wednesday that a blast occurred near the Azbakeya police station in central Cairo.

Civil defence forces and bomb disposal experts arrived at the scene to comb the area for more bombs, a security source told MENA.

The blast damaged police vehicles that were parked outside the station, but no injuries were initially reported.

However, the health ministry later announced that two citizens were reported injured from the blast and were transported to El-Helal general hospital.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the bombing.

Cairo governor Galal Saied visited the site of the blast early Thursday, asking forces to tighten security in the area as it is surrounded by residential buildings and schools. 

In a similar incident that took place late September, two policemen were injured outside a foreign ministry building in the Giza district of Agouza.
