Six people- including 4 police personnel- were injured on Thursday morning after a bomb exploded in front of a police station in El-Waraq district in Giza governorate, a security source told Al-Ahram Arabic news website.
El-Waraq explosion marked the fourth of its kind in the greater Cairo area on Thursday.
The ministry of health had said one individual was killed in an earlier morning bomb explosion in Imbaba.
Three bombs had exploded in the greater Cairo area early on Thursday morning near shops belonging to mobile network providers in Mohandiseen and a restaurant in Imbaba, Al-Ahram’s Arabic news website reported.
Two of the bombs exploded in front of a Vodafone and an Etisalat shop on two main avenues in the Mohandiseen area – Gameat El-Dowal street and Ahmed Orabi street.
These two explosions shattered the shops’ glass front but left no injuries.
Police cordoned off streets in the area.
Meanwhile, a third bomb detonated roughly the same time near a popular restaurant in the low-income district of Imbaba’s Wehda street.
The explosion injured three workers, according to the ministry of health.
Police told Ahram Arabic news website that the the explosion led to the amputation of the leg of one of those injured.
Authorities were alerted of the presence of an unidentified package at the site of the Imbaba explosion, however, the device detonated before officers could reach the scene.
The plantation of small bombs in public spaces reportedly by anti-government has spiked in recent months, constituting a diversification in the tactics of militants who previously focused on more direct targetting of police and army facilities and personnel since the ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
