Security officials in North Sinai have found an explosive projectile tied to a power pole along Arish’s mediterranean coast earlier Thursday.
The area in which the projectile had been found was quickly cordoned by security forces.
Police and military forces moved the suspected object away from residential areas, then they immediately detonated it.
Increased security forces have been deployed in Arish since Monday following threats that terror acts were being planned during the Muslim festival of Eid.
