Two military students were killed when a microbus transforming military academy students exploded in the governorate of Kafr El-Sheikh on Wednesday, the governorate's security director said.
Director Abdel Rahman Sharaf said that the explosion also left three others injured. Security sources cordoned off the area of the explosion, an eye witness said.
Bombings and shootings targeting security forces have surged since the military ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Mursi in July 2013, following mass protests against his rule.
