State-owned Ahram Online said at least two explosions took place prior to gunmen opening fire at worshipers outside al-Rawdah mosque, located in a village between Bir al-Abed and the city of al-Arish. No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said the country’s military and police would “avenge our martyrs” and respond “using brute force against those fragments of terrorists” to ensure security.

According to Reuters, the Egyptian military has already begun conducting air strikes in the area of the incident.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump called the attack “horrible” and “cowardly,” urging the international community to work to discredit extremism.

Horrible and cowardly terrorist attack on innocent and defenseless worshipers in Egypt. The world cannot tolerate terrorism, we must defeat them militarily and discredit the extremist ideology that forms the basis of their existence!
