Two car bombs struck Egypt's intelligence headquarters in Sinai, killing at least six people, including soldiers.
At least 10 military officers and 7 other people were wounded in the attack on the building located on the Egyptian border with the Gaza Strip, according to media reports.
The attack was carried out by two suicide bombers, one of whom plunged a vehicle at a high-speed into the side of the two-story army building, burying several people.
Witnesses told the BBC that a body was discovered in the car.
Other witnesses said that militants fired rocket propelled grenades at an army checkpoint not far from the military building. Then the second suicide bomber came, detonating at a checkpoint on the complex.
The building is considered the Egyptian Army's most important security checkpoint in the area.
In a separate incident, an explosion hit an army checkpoint in the al Imam Ali district of Rafah in northern Sinai, close to the Gaza border.
