A police vehicle was attacked after unidentified assailants ambushed it, security source said.
A security force responsible for guarding the border with Israel exchanged fire with armed men, prompting them to escape.
One conscript was shot in the leg, the source added.
Since former President Mohamed Mursi’s ouster from power, militants in North Sinai have intensified their attacks against security forces, leaving at least 175 security personnel dead.
