Six rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) were fired by unknown assailants at a mosque in North Sinai's Al-Arish.

According to Al-Ahram Arabic news website, the mosque is affiliated with a Sufi order in Al-Tawil district.No casualties have been reported.

North Sinai, on the border with Israel, has suffered a security vacuum for years, particularly since the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi last summer.

Suspected Islamist militants based in the peninsula have waged a high-level insurgency against security forces, to which the army has responded with counter-insurgency operations.

In 2011,a series of attacks against Sufi shrines took place across Egypt.Most of the attacks were instigated by Salafists who believe the shrines are an abomination against Islam.
