Egypt said its police forces killed 16 Islamist militants in raids in the restive northern part of the Sinai Peninsula.
An Interior Ministry statement said security forces exchanged fire with militants as they stormed insurgent hideouts in the Mediterranean coastal city of Arish. Egypt has battled militants in the Sinai Peninsula for years. The insurgency has occasionally spilled over to the mainland.
